Although this bill is not all we had hoped for. it does represent a step forward. Mr. President. AHEPA. the American Hellenic Educational Progressive Association. a notable organization of GreekAmericans. is meeting in St. Louis. Mo.. at this time. It is particularly appropriate that this proposed immigration legislation should be considered by the Senate and acted upon at the time of their convention. This bill affords an opportunity for entry into the United States of at least 3.500 Greeks. plus orphans. 25.000 Italians. and 5.000 Germans. In my opinion it is a step forward in the long struggle to bring about a better and more constructive approach to the problem of immigration.
