Mr. President. this hardhitting editorial makes an extremely good case for expeditious action upon the administrations proposals for revision of the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952. and I applaud the interest shown by all our major newspapers in the refugee and immigration problem. However. there is one aspect of this excellent editorial with which I am in disagreement. and I feel obligated to state my position on it so that there be no unfairness or misunderstanding resulting from this otherwise sound and eminently merited editorial statement. The editorial justifiably demands that action on these needed revisions be expedited. so that the proposal will not die in committee. As a sponsor of remedial measures in both sessions. I have deep personal interest in this matter. and most certainly applaud the newspapers objectives in demanding congressional action on this vitally needed legislation. However. the editorial places some of the blame for the delay on my colleague. the Senator from Mississippi . and charges that the immigration amendments are bottled up in the Senate Judiciary Committee. Such is not the case. In all fairness to the Senator from Mississippi.
