Mr. President. on the day that we are scheduled to act on the conference report which reflects the enlightened immigration proposals of the junior Senator from Massachusetts . I should like to make available to my colleagues an eminent address on our national immigration policies which Senator KENNEDY delivered to the Washington chapter of the American Jewish Committee on June 4. 1957. The title of this able essay is "Let the Lady Hold Up Her Head." which symbolizes the desire of the Senator from Massachusetts to bring into living reality the great humanitarian promise inherent in the Statue of Liberty. which commands the entrance to New York Harbor. I am pleased to be a cosponsor of Senator KENNEDYS bill . I believe that any openminded citizen reading this address by Senator KENNEDY will come to realize that every one of us. except for fullblooded American Indians. is either an immigrant or the descendant of immigrants. Therefore. as the Senator from Massachusetts emphasizes. "our policy should be generous. it should be fair. it should be flexible." I ask unanimous consent that the address by Senator KENNEDY be printed in the body of the RECORD.
