FORTY-EIGHTH CONGRESS, 1883-1885. 941 



The cost of illustrations for these reports has been materially reduced by the 



The 



Referred to Committee of the Whole. 

 April 19, 1884 House. 



H. 137 passed. 

 June 20, 1884 Senate. 



Mr. J. R. HAWLEY. I am directed by the Committee on Printing to 

 report the joint resolution (S. 47), for printing the annual reports 

 of the Bureau of Ethnology adversely, and move its indefinite post- 

 ponement, to be followed by concurrence in a House joint resolution 

 on the same subject. 



The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. GEORGE F. EDMUNDS). The question 

 is on the motion to indefinitely postpone the joint resolution. 



Agreed to. 



Mr. HAWLEY. I report from the same committee the joint resolu- 

 tion (H. 137) for printing the annual reports of the Bureau of 

 Ethnology, favorably, with amendments. 



The Senate, as in Committee of the Whole, considered the joint 

 resolution. 



The first amendment reported by the committee was in line 4, after 

 the word "the," where it first occurs, to insert "fourth and fifth," so 

 as to read: 



That there be printed at the Government Printing Office 15,000 copies of each of the 

 fourth and fifth annual reports of the Director of the Bureau of Ethnology, with 

 accompanying papers and illustrations. 



Mr. HAWLEY. The resolution as it came from the House made a 

 permanent order for the printing of these reports. That is not the 

 present policy of Congress. It is to order printing as it comes from 

 year to j^ear. We confine the resolution to the fourth and fifth vol- 

 umes, which are on hand. That is the meaning of the amendment. 



Agreed to. 



The next amendment was after the word "illustration," in line 6, 

 to strike out "beginning with the report for the fiscal year ending 

 June 30, 1883." 



Mr. HAWLEY. That is in pursuance of the purpose I have just indi- 

 cated, to make it an appropriation for the current work, and not a 

 permanent appropriation. 



Agreed to. 



The next amendment was. in line 9, before the word "thousand," 

 to strike out "two" and insert "three;" after the word "thousand," 

 to insert "of each;" and in the same line, after the word " Senate," to 

 strike out "eight" and insert "seven," so as to read: 



And uniform with the preceding volumes of the series, of which 3,000 of each 

 shall be for the use of the Senate, 7,000 for the use of the House of Representatives, 

 and- 5,000 for distribution by the Bureau of Ethnology.
