Mr. REED, from the Committee on Immigration, submitted the following REPORT [To accompany H. R. 9598] The Committee on Immigration, to whom as referred the bill (H. R. 9598) to authorize expenditures for the enforcement of the contract-labor provisions of the immigration law, having considered the same, report favorably thereon without amendment and recommend that the bill do pass. Under existing law the Secretary of Labor may draw annually from the appropriation for the enforcement of the immigration laws not in excess of $100,000 for the enforcement of the contract-labor provisions and other purposes.

SENATE 72D CONGRESS 1st Session } { REPORT No. 572 ISSUANCE OF CONGRESSIONAL AUTOMOBILE TAGS TO CERTAIN OFFICIALS OF CONGRESS APRIL 19, 1932.-Ordered to be printed Mr. COPELAND, from the Committee on the District of Columbia, submitted the following REPORT [To accompany S. 4123] The Committee on the District of Columbia, to whom was referred the bill (S. 4123) to amend the District of Columbia traffic acts, as amended, having considered the same, reports favorably thereon, and recommends that the bill do pass. As amended by the act of February 27, 1931, the traffic acts provide for the issuance by the District Commissioners of special congressional automobile tags to each Member of the Senate and the House of Representatives, for their official use. When used by Members of Congress in connection with official business, the law provides, the tags shall authorize the parking of the Members' automobiles in any available curb space in the District, except within fire-plug, fire-house, loading-station and loading-platform requirements. Such tags must not be assigned to or used by others. The bill hereby reported would extend the authority of the commissioners so as to permit the issuance of congressional tags to the elective officers and disbursing clerks of both Houses of Congress and to the Assistant Secretaries of the Senate. These officials of Congress are frequently obliged to use their automobiles for the business of the Senate or House, and should be accorded the same parking privileges which Members of Congress now enjoy. The bill does not propose to extend the use of such tags to committee clerks or other congressional employees. The District Commissioners' favorable report on the bill is appended hereto.
