Mr. President. In recent years there has been a great deal of talk about the subject of immigration. and mostly about whether we should revise the McCarranWalter Act. I. of course. have contributed my portion to the discussion. by advocating very consistently and very fervently the overhauling of the McCarranWalter Act. I believe most of those who have expressed themselves on this subject have expressed themselves similarly. Most of the expressions. however. have been expressions of view and attitude. Very little factual material. and not very much truly original thinking. has been devoted to this subject. In the course of the brief hearings that were held last year before the Senate Judiciary Committee. under the chairmanship of the late. beloved Harley Kilgore. there was one piece of testimony which was outstanding for its departure from the conventional patterns of thought. and which contributed some truly arresting statistical material.
