President. I think it is time to call a halt to name calling in the guise of a Presidential veto. I think it is time here and now to remind the Senate that on another occasion the President of the United States vetoed a bill which would have removed. once and for all. racial barriers to naturalization. I refer. of course. to the Presidents veto of such proposed legislation in the closing days of the Eightyfirst Congress. The veto now before the Senate. if sustained. would for the second time dash the hopes of 86.000 orientals within our borders who have been our friends and neighbors for a quarter of a century. and who have hoped to realize their ambi.. tions to become American citizens.
