Friday m the House Mr. Hender
son reported the bill to regulat? the
liens of judgments and decrees of the
courts of the United btates. our
Henderson said with respect to it
"Mr. Speaker, this bill has been very
carefully considered by the judiciary
committee. ; A great many gentlemen
on the floor seem to think that the
bill ia awkwa:dly or inartificially
drawn that its meaning is not clear.
It may appfear so to gentlemen who
have examined it tor oiiiv a lew miu
utes. : But' we have considered the
bill with the utmost icare. We have
had the benefit of the debate in tbe
ntuf3nruss)n a measure
matte any phiiner, when we consider
that the object is not to force any
new law upon any State, butsimply
lo require that the lien which the State
provides for the judgment of its own
courts shall be the hen of a Federal
judgment Whenever the State law will
permit. Congress cannot pass a law
compelling a State officer to record a
Federal judgment in the clerk's office
of a $tate eourt. If we could do that,
the commHte would have drawn the
bill that way. But we provide that the
lien of a judgment of a Federal court
shall be the same as the lien cf the
judgment pt a State court that it
shall bo a Hen on property in the
same I manner and to the same ex
tent. I I i
It goes oh to say when State law
requires certain things to be done be
fore the lien ehall attach then those
regulation! of State courts shall ap
ply to regulations of Federal courts
whenever the Legislature of a State
will so authorize."
The bill was passed.
