Mr. Hanes called for the appointment of a bipartisan Presidential Commission which would have 12 members. 4 drawn from Congress. 4 from the executive branch and 4 from private life. This Commission would be composed of persons who have established a high reputation. and it would specifically preclude persons who have been previously identified with particular opinions on immigration matters. The Commission would report to the President in 1963 after conducting a thorough study. The purpose of the Commission would be to produce a basic philosophy which could be proposed to the Congress for implementation as a new immigration law. Mr. President. we do need a fresh approach in our immigration thinking. and. therefore. I have taken this opportunity to call to the attention of Congress and the public Mr. Hanes most stimulating proposal.
