Hard to tell whether the sponsor is Sen. Wesley Jones or Rep. John Jones, because the entry in the Cong. Rec. index for the bill has a typo and does not give the correct page for the Senate introduction of the measure. However, Rep. Jones did not participate in the House debate, and Sen. Jones chaired the Appropriations Committee at the time, so it seems more likely that he was the sponsor for whom the bill is named. | ||||
The Lodge Act (Alien Enlistee Program) | Sponsor | The Lodge Act (Alien Enlistee Program) | Sen. Henry Cabot Lodge (R-MA) | Y |
