I wish to recommend to the membership of the House that it acquaint itself with several very important statements of policy as they appear in the statement filed by the managers on the part of the House. I believe that I express the unanimous opinion of all the members of the committee of conference that the perfected language of this important legislation would not lend itself to misconstruction and misinterpretation similar to the one used in the vicious campaign of vilification directed against this legislation from certain quarters which I prefer not to identify at this time. It is our firm and unanimous belief that we are presenting to the House a legislative measure which. after almost 4 years of painstaking and tedious efforts. will operate to the best interest of the United States and its people. a measure which will be of great benefit to the lawabiding future immigrant who wants to join us in good faith and share with us the blessings of our land and of our constitutional liberties. However. while benefiting such welcomed guests and our future cocitizens. this measure will not benefit the subversive. the criminal. the gambler. the stowaway. the seaman who deserts his ship. and the alien who sneaks across our borders trying to take in our midst the place of a person who for years patiently waited abroad until his or her turn was reached.
