I of course reserve that right to myself. in the event of developments on the floor of the Senate which I cannot at this moment foresee. In the last analysis. I feel strongly that the purposes of this bill are so clearly inconsistent with the spirit of the present Immigration and Naturalization Actthe McCarranWalter Actthat any attempt to harmonize the two. as is undertaken in the pending bill. must almost inevitably result in a contamination of the final product of such an effort. The attempt to reconcile the letter and spirit of the McCarran Act with the pending bill has resulted in a most unfortunate compromise of the high purposes which animated President Eisenhowers original recommendations. But we must accept whatever advance is made under such difficult circumstances.
