Hon. member Dole thought the

Committee would be smaller one
than the whole House, and he thought
it would expedite matters to have them
consider the matter, hear evidence, etc

definitely postpone the resolution.

ary Committee was withdrawn by the

he had moved to lay the resolution on

voted for it.
