Mr. Speaker. I am definitely opposed to House Joint Resolution 414. called the "Actors alien bill". now under consideration before the Committee on Immigration and Naturalization of the House of Representatives. This bill would preclude entry of any actor or actress unless she or he were of distinguished merit or ability. i. e.. were a star. and then only after reciprocal arrangements have been made with the countries for entrance of our national actors under a sort of mutual exchange. We have had trade reciprocity agreements on potatoes. onions. and beans. but never have we had them on humans. never have we had them concerning the drama.
