Speech #830195755

The act has been in effect only about 18 months. After a record of that kind. and while the operation of the measure is under study by a committee which has been appointed. the Joint Committee on Immigration and Naturalization. to determine how the bill is going to operate. does not the Senator from New York feel that it would be futile to ask Congress. which is made up largely of the same Members who overrode the veto of the President. to turn around now and begin to amend or repeal the act which was passed a short time ago? With reference to what the Senator has said about studies. and that sort of thing. they have been going on for years and years. The Senator and his colleagues who were opposed to the McCarranWalter bill presented their views at great length. During the campaign of 1952. the President of the United States appointed a commission to examine into the question all over again.
