What I mean is that this bill seems to me potentially more costly. more damaging to the national interest. than any major bill which has come to the floor with so little understanding about it on the part of the Senate as a whole. It seems to have more hidden balls in It. more sleepers. more objectionable featuressome fourhundredodd differences. in total. from the HumphreyLehman b:ll--and these 400 have had less discussion than any other bill of comparable importance during my service in the Senate. This is a bill which is publicized by a word which I approve. the word "codify". but it is a bill which in fact. in my judgment. would confuse and confound our immigration and naturalization laws. These are today of paramount importance not only to us domestically. but to our relationships throughout the world. The bill would introduce into our statute books 302 pages of highly controversial. inhumane. and administratively unworkable legislation.
