Session #84 · 1955–57

Speech #840119987

I would like to rise at this time to congratulate and compliment the gentleman -from New York on his very able statement that he has delivered to the House. I say that as a member of the Committee on the Judiciary of this House I know that this subject matter is one that is .close to the gentlemans heart. During his service -on that committee the gentleman has taken a very active..sincere. and -conscientious interest in -all of the immigration bills that have ecome before us. I want to join with him in support of these measures which he has offered to the Congress. following the message of .the President of the .United States. Especially am I interested. as he is. in the quota system which has been in effect now since 1920. Both of us feel I am sure that at this particular time. 1956. Congress should take another look at the system due to the fact that times have changed over the years and some change in the present law -is mandatory.
