Mr. President. the Senate is called upon today to consider and to approve or disapprove S. 1917. This bill. submitted to Congress by President Eisenhower. proposes the admission into our country of 209.000 aliens over and above our regular immigration quota. There is no legislation pending before this session of Congress. in my judgment. with such profound implications for our national security as S. 1917. I feel. therefore. that there is a compelling need today to review the factual considerations which underlie this legislation. The Senate must. prior to voting on this plan. weigh with great caution and unusual care the arguments both for and against the admission of these thousands of extraquota aliens.
