It has been backed not only by every President for the past quarter century. but by every nominee for the presidency of both parties. The measure has been reported by the Committee on Foreign Relations by a vote of 9 to 4. I realize that we are trying to adjourn at an early date. I am afraid that the measure might be caught in the late adjournment rush. and in that way not come to a vote before the Senate. Therefore I should like to ask the distinguished majority leader whether we could have his assurance that either before or after the immigration bill is disposed of. the St. Lawrence seaway project measure will be brought up for a vote.
