Mr. Speaker. I rise in support of the bill which seeks to amend the Immigration and Nationality Act. I have listened attentively to the remarks of the previous speakers. all of whom have spoken in favor of this legislation with the exception of the gentleman from Ohio . Memb6rs from both sides of the aisle have outlined to you the provisions of this bill and offered various reasons in support of this type of legislation. I do wish to associate myself with them in favoring this omnibus bill. I sincerely regret. however. that the chairman of the Subcommittee on Immigration of the House Committee on the Judiciary is unable to be present here today with us to give to the House his views on this most important subject matter. I know of no man in the Congress who is more conversant with immigration and naturalization bills than the gentleman from Pennsylvania . Knowing that he has met with a most unfortunate accident. and realizing that he will be confined to the Georgetown Hospital for some period of time. I feel that I speak the sentiment of every Member of the House when I say that it is our hope and our desire and our wish that he will have a speedy and full recovery.
