But. Mr. President. if we want our immigration policy to endure. if we want to protect the America of our grandchildren and their grandchildren. we must make it impartial. Only such a law as is impartial can endure. and that is why this nationalorigins controversy goes to the very essence of the law and controls its permanency. and that is why some of us have felt it imperative upon us to insist that it be maintained. I ask to have incorporated in my remarks at this point telegrams which I have exchanged with Mr. William Green. president of the American Federation of Labor. in which he expresses most emphatically his approval and that of the executive committee of the American Federation of Labor of the nationalorigins part of the immigration law. It is no superficial opinion that they give. because they have studied this matter since long before we ever passed an immigration restriction act. I ask that the telegrams may now be read by the clerk.
