The report is an excellent step forward. We are making a vast Improvement over the very restricted naturalization laws we have today. The bill originally went over as an orphans bill and the additions were then made. For the benefit of Senators who may have some apprehension about the report. let me say that this proposal has been reviewed by the welfare agencies which over the years have been intimately associated with the problem and have been striving with diligence and devotion to bring about a liberalization of our immigration laws. While they are not completely satisfied that we have gone the whole way. they agree with me that the present proposals are a vast improvement. and they hope that nothing will happen in this Congress which will prevent the passage of this particular proposed legislation. In conclusion I again congratulate my friend from Mississippi.
