Mr. President. it was evident to every Member of this body that the Immigration bill was going to be considered at this time. When the action was taken by. my colleagues on this side I stated that I would reserve to myself the right. when I saw fit. to bring up the immigration bill. I have not brought it up for the purpose of retarding these necessary measures. but simply because I believe that a majority of the American people intend us to face this question honestly and fearlessly and decide what we are going to do about it. A few months. as a matter of course. might not make any difference. but I do not propose to place myself In the category of- using a great question in a manner in which it certainly should not be used at all.
