I should like to express my gratitude to the Committee on Interior and Insular Affairs for the special hearing and for favorably reporting the bill. I introduced this bill because I felt that the change could do much to bolster the aspirations of people throughout the world to attain freedom. So also could the establishment of the American Museum of Immigration at the base of the statue give new meaning and inspiration to the message of the statue. as advocated by the group to which I referred. The museum is a nonprofit organization which is now completing the organization of a national appeal similar to the one which covered the cost of building the base and erecting the statue. This public subscription -to set up the museum will start on October 28. the 70th anniversary of the unveiling of the statue. and continue until Thanksgiving Day.
