Mr. President. I present this bill to the Senate as a product of 3 years of careful study and tedious effort pursuant to Senate Resolution 137 of the Eightieth Congress. which was adopted in July 26. 1947. and a series of continuing resolutions since that time which directed the Committee on the Judiciary to make a full and complete study of our entire immigration and naturalization system. and to recommend such changes in the immigration and naturalization laws as it may deem advisable. Let me dwell on that point for a moment. This is not a study or a task which the chairman of the Judiciary Committee assumed on his own initiative.
