Mr. Speaker. the battle for a just democratic immigration law must continue. I believe most firmly. and shall continue so to believe. that a revision of that act is one of my primary duties as a Congressman. To ignore the basic inequities of our immigration policy is to fail in the obligations and responsibilities of my office and to do violence to our American ideals. I could not and will not sit by idly and permit our law to say that one man is better than another. that one nation is superior to another. or that the accident of birth shall determine a mans fate. Can we view with complacency the unjustified and unjustifiable fact that 70 percent out of 154.000 quota numbers are allotted to northern and western European nations. and out of that 107.000 allotted to northern and western Europe. over 65.000 are allotted to one country only. and that is Great -Britain?
