Mr. President. as one of the cosponsors of the HumphreyLehman immigration bill. I wish to associate myself with the remarks made this afternoon. and to express the view that those of us who are sponsors of the billand we are a considerable number in the Senateare entitled to the parliamentary courtesy of having a hearing held on our bill before another bill. for which our bill is intended as a substitute. is brought before the Senate for debate and action. I think that is a just. fair. and reasonable request. I am at a loss to understand why a bill on this subject should be scheduled for a vote on the floor of the Senate when a large number of us have not had an opportunity of having a hearing held on our bill.
