Title
Letter to Senator Ernest McFarland from proponents of Lehman-Humphrey bill, 1952
Description
In this letter to Senate Majority Leader Ernest McFarland (Arizona), supporters of the Lehman-Humphrey (S. 2842) bill ask McFarland to pressure Senator Pat McCarran (Nevada) to call for hearings regarding the immigration bills before the Senate. This letter provides insight into the various options Senators had to influence legislation. In this case, supporters of Lehman-Humphrey attempted to return the debate back to the Judiciary Committee before putting the matter to vote before the Senate, while at the same time threatening to introduce over 100 amendments to the opposing McCarran-Walter bill (S. 2550) if the matter was not returned to committee.
