Mr.. Engel: The committee on the

send his recommendation in regard to
this matter to the committee on
finance. and if that were done, it would
complicate matters to have the same
subject before two committees. Until !
the committee is ready to report, 1 |
wish to move that these petitions lie |
on the table until the other comes in, |
and then the Senate may send it to |
either committee, as they think best.
The vote referring these petitions |
was reconsidered and they were sew
orally tabled pending reference.
