I am delighted the Senator made his point about not being insistent upon any one particular figure. as. for example. that in the HumphreyLehman bill. under which immigration would be substantially larger than under the McCarran bill. What the proponents of the HumphreyLehman bill. of whom the Senator from Illinois is one. are insisting on is that. whatever formula may be arrived at. it be an equitable formula. We are also insisting upon certain basic principles. such as those applicable to parents of presently naturalized citizens. We are insisting that there be no discrimination in the immigration law. Whatever the figures may be is a matter to be determined on the basis of national policy. but those figures should be arrived at in such a way as to afford equitable treatment to all peoples under the immigration policy. That is our point. Will the Senator from Illinois permit me at this pointbecause this is directed exactly toward his remarksto have included in the RECORD as further substantiation of what the Senator from Illinois has been saying. a letter which I have received from a number of representatives of Indian tribes in the United States?
