I am very grateful to the Senator for having made that observation. for fear someone might infer that I was talking about anybody other than aliens. noncitizens. who have been employed by our Government. I recognize that much of the development of this country is attributable to the brawn and brain of those who came from abroad. After all. the first to land upon these shores were those who came from abroad. In the very beginning. our forefathers were all aliens. I am confining my remarks to noncitizens of the United States. those who have not made application for citizenship. aliens in this country who have been employed by our Government in the face of the fact that millions In this country were looking for employment. I know that some of the most distinguished Members of Congress. and others. who have contributed greatly to the upbuilding and development of this country. were born abroad. Let it not be thought for a moment that I reflected upon anybody.
