I \err much desire to ham a day fixed for a vote upon the joint resolution and the amendment, .and not -so much for tile eom·enienee of th~ 'Senator who has the measure in charge as for the convenience of Senators who ar-e compelled to be away to some extent from time to time. I have had a number of requests from Senators on both sides of the Chamber that a day be fixed far in advance, so that there can be no doubt about all having an opportunity to be here without incon \enience. In new of that, I am g"Oing to ask that June 1 be fixed.
