President. as a few simple calculations will show. 2.686 of the 3.677 total are spouses who have been permitted to join their husbands and wives. and thereby to maintain a normal married existence. As a cosponsor of S. 1809. I have already expressed my support for the permanent integration of the tuberculosis waiver provision into the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952. as amended. Because more time is apparently required before a thoroughly deliberated revision of the immigration act will be forthcoming. I believe we should act now to insure that the family unity preserved by the tuberculosis waiver provision should not end. but be continued. Since the proposed extension would authorize the admission of immigrants who are limited in number. but who are so very important to the welfare and happiness of their immediate relatives. and since adequate safeguards have been prescribed over the past 4 years to insure that they will be properly treated and will not become public charges. I respectfully request the Senates favorable consideration of this bill.
