Speech #820210890

I should like to read what the four colleagues whom I have named had to say: S. 9550 is a bill which. under the guise of a codification of existing Immigration statutes. In fact incorporates within its 300 pages hundreds of highly controversial provisions which require much more careful study and consideration by the members of the committee than was possible under the circumstances. The Importanec of this legislation certainly merited a sectionbysection discussion by the committee before final committee action. Mr. President. I am not a member of the committee. but I have no reason to distrust the words of those Senators when they say the bill was not given the proper kind of consideration.
