Speech #810190489

Let us be modernminCded and not be bound by obsolete precedents. Unfortunately. when the bill went to conference. the amendment was deleted. Thus. it appears that tue conferees. for some reason. which I should like to know. struck out the permissive authority to try to do justice to some of our own people and said. in effect. "You must perpetuate the inequitable provisions of the Yugoslav agreement." I would say to this body Jhat we have departed from the normal immigration laws to bring displaced persons to our country. We have departed from normal precedents in sending economic aid and grants to Europe. Surely we can make a small effort to insist that this Government protect its own citizens. old or new.
