Mr. President. I indicated last week. in a statement I made on the floor of the Senate. that I intend to propose S. 1206. an omnibus immigration bill. as an amendment in the nature of a substitute for H. R. 6888. the pending sheepherders bill. if and when H. R. 6888 is called up for debate in the Senate. I propose to do this because we are running out of time in this session. and there is every likelihood that the sheepherders bill will be the only piece of immigration legislation upon which the Senate may have a chance to vote. It is. therefore. encouraging to me. in my efforts to obtain some kind of substantial improvement in our immigration laws. to receive a telegram from the great State of Utah. Two organizations in Salt Lake City ask me. "Could you use H. R. 6888 to gain consideration of S. 1206?" I ask unanimous consent that there be printed at this point in the RECORD as a part of my remarks the text of the telegram referred to. received from the chairmen of the Greek Association and the Italian Association. respectively. of Salt Lake City.
