But let us close the door on the insidious practice of introducing one exemption after another until nothing is left of the compact. I wonder. Mr. President. if Mr. and Mrs. America. out at the crossroads of this land. would understand why the Senate would pass. in the closing hours of the Congress. legislation so hurriedly proposed. legislation which would drastically alter our basic immigration policy. Mr. President. in the name of the great unorganized Americans of this country. I urge the Senate to defeat section 5. at least. which strikes at the basic national origins quotas. With section 5 removed. I feel certain there will be no objection to the bill.
