Mr. Speaker. the emergency immigration bill just passed by the House is a wise and decent proposal. It is salutary in its domestic effect for it will tend to add to our manpower reserves. It is in line with our foreign policy and constitutes a friendly gesture to our allies and the victims of ruthless oppression abroad. It is befitting our humanitarian traits. our foreign policy. and our security needs. It will relax. to a certain extent. the harsh and restrictive quotas of the McCarranWalter Act. without relaxing the essential security provisions of that act. It is shocking that there should be the need for me or anyone else to rise to the defense of this legislation.
