My objection is to what it does not contain rather than to what it does contain. It is a skeleton where there should be a robust body. The President has recommended some sweeping revisions in our immigration laws to wipe out numerous inequities and discriminatory provisions. It has not been possible to obtain any hearings on this legislation or any of the other bills submitted by various members. The chairman of the House Immigration Subcommittee has. however. now indicated that he will hold full hearings on all proposed immigration law changes next January. at which everyone will have an opportunity to be heard to express his viewpoint. In the light of that commitment. I urge support for the bill before us today.
