Remaining for consideration is the utilization of the concurrent resolution to enable Congress to achieve a more intimate participation in the administration of selected programs, principally in the field of immigration and naturalization. In the Alien Registration Act of 1940[629] Congress provided for the deportation of additional classes of aliens. Aliens of proved good moral character might have deportation suspended under certain conditions at the discretion of the Attorney General. However, if deportation were suspended for more than six months, all of the facts and pertinent provisions of law in the case must be reported to the Congress within ten days after the beginning of its next regular session, with the reasons for such suspension. If during that session the two Houses pass a concurrent resolution stating in substance that the Congress does not favor the suspension of such deportation, the Attorney General is required to carry out the deportation as provided by law. If, however, during that session the two Houses fail to pass such a resolution, the Attorney General is required to cancel deportation proceedings at the end of the session. In subsequent legislation Congress reserved the right by concurrent resolution to suspend deportation of aliens or to grant permanent residence,[630] and a considerable proportion of the concurrent resolutions enacted each year now constitute directives to the Attorney General in this regard.[631] The Rubber Producing Facilities Disposal Act of 1953[632] set up a Rubber Producing Facilities Disposal Commission and authorized it to enter into contracts for disposal of federally held rubber producing facilities. The Commission was to report to Congress in considerable detail on the negotiations and the contents of the contracts. The report had to be submitted to both Houses of Congress on the same day. Upon the expiration of sixty days of continuous session of the Congress following the date upon which the report was submitted to it, the Commission was free to proceed to carry out the contracts and proposals as outlined in its report, but only to the extent that such contracts and proposals had not been disapproved by either House of Congress by a resolution during the sixty-day period. Congress in recent years also has asserted the right by concurrent resolution to “declare ... that the period of active service required of any age group” under the Universal Military Training and Service Act “should be decreased ... or ... should be eliminated.”[633] USE OF CONCURRENT RESOLUTION PROVISIONS TO CHECK ADMINISTRATIVE ACTION
