Johnson Asks Immigration Committee to Continue After Congress Adjourns

(Jewish Daily Bulletin)

Congressman Johnson, chairman of the Immigration Committee of the House, yesterday made an unsuccessful effort to amend the Second Deficiency Appropriation Bill in order to authorize the Immigration Committee to remain in session after the adjournment of Congress for the purpose of investigating and preparing immigration legislation for the next session of Congress. Congressman Johnson’s amendment was ruled out on a point of order.

It is understood that Congressman Johnson feels that the Immigration Committee has not had adequate opportunity to properly study the immigration problems, and therefore desired to obtain the opportunity for study after Congress adjourns. It is doubtful whether Congressman Johnson will succeed in having any action taken by the House in reference to the matter prior to adjournment next Friday.
