I support and will vote for this bill sponsored by the distinguished junior Senator from Rhode Island. Senator JOHN 0. PASTORE. and the distinguished junior Senator from my State of Massachusetts. Senator JOHN F. KENNEDY. This legislation will make available 1.500 special nonquota immigrant visas for issuance to certain distressed aliens in the Azores Islands. These people of Portuguese descent were made homeless when the volcano of Pico Gorda erupted on the island of Fayal in the Azores and caused almost continuous earthquakes and destruction. Many of these tragedy victims have relatives in New England communities who can assist them and offer them new hope in starting life over again in America.
