I hope what the Senator has said is true. Many of us have been trying for months to obtain hearings on proposed immigration legislation and have been unable to do so. I am not prepared to back down on my amendment merely because of an assurance that at some time in the future we shall have hearings and a bill will be reported out. As the Senator from Rhode Island has said. perhaps the amendment will be defeated. Perhaps the motion to table will be carried. But so far as I am concerned. I should like the Senate of the United States to be on record as having at least tried to do something about the situation.
