While this bill helps. it does not do enough. It permits only a trickle to come when what we need is a stream. Our country was founded by Europeans. immigrants explored our West and built our railroads. our roads. our buildings and much industry. Our economy has been strengthened by the contributions made by the flow of people with skills. Our Nation has been defended by our manpower. our youth. many of whom were sons of recent immigrants. The Senate amendment to the House provision. in section 1 of the bill which changes the registration date from December 31. 1954. back to March 31. 1954. closes the door to 45.000 people who have been patiently waiting to rejoin their relatives. their parents. their brothers and sisters. Those who made these changes are experts in figures but they do not apparently understand emotions or strong family ties.
