The sponsor hunt continued during the next session, the short and last one of the 66th Congress. A succession of Senators all of whom favored the bill took it under consideration. Each thought it better for some one else to do it. Their various delays in deciding carried the sponsor hunt over to the new Congress which convened in December, 1921. Meanwhile the question was carried to Post Master General Hays who seriously considered including this amendment with his proposed recommendation to Congress that all the laws relating to Post Office censorship be revised. His consideration lasted from midsummer to the following March when he retired from the office to go into the moving picture business. His recommendation was never made in Congress. So the sponsor hunt was again continued, and lasted until January, 1923, when Senator Albert B. Cummins, President Pro-tempore of the Senate, agreed to introduce the measure. He was the sixteenth Senator who had been asked to sponsor the bill. He made good on his promise promptly, and the bill was introduced on January 10th. On the same day the bill was sponsored in the House by Congressman John Kissel of Brooklyn, who answered what was practically an advertisement for a “volunteer” statesman to render this service. A letter had been sent to each member of the House asking if he were willing to take the lead in the House to correct the Comstock blunder. Mr. Kissel responded at once and with serious approval. The bill was a simple straight repeal of the words “preventing conception” wherever they occur in the five Federal obscenity statutes, as follows: _Criminal Code_, Section 102, _which penalized any government employee who aids or abets_ in the violation of any law “prohibiting importing, advertising, dealing in, exhibiting, or sending or receiving by mail,” any obscene publication, etc. Section 211, _which makes unmailable_ all obscene publications, writings, etc., and all articles used for obscene purposes. Section 245, _which prohibits bringing into the United States or sending by express or any public carrier_, all the obscene things listed in Section 211. Section 312, _which penalizes anyone who “shall sell, lend, give away, or in any manner exhibit, or shall otherwise publish or offer to publish ... or shall have in his possession for any such purpose_, any of the obscene things listed in Section 211. (This section applies only to territory under the exclusive jurisdiction of the Federal government). _Tariff Act of 1922_, Section 305, _which prohibits the importation_ of any of the obscene things, listed in Section 211 of the Criminal Code.
