Mr. President. our reform bill follows closely the counsel and wisdom of Americas foremost immigration specialists. It is also in line with the estimates of our leading economists. both in Government and in the private sector. regarding the number of immigrants this country can absorb. The sponsors of this bill pay tribute to the efforts of these dedicated Americans who have seriously concerned themselves with immigration policy. The American Immigration and Citizenship Conference and its affiliated organizations have played a major role in these efforts. An ad hoc committee of the American Immigration and Citizenship Conference has given 2 years of intensive study to American immigration policy. Recently the American Immigration and Citizenship Conference circulated a statement on the bill we offer today to the Members of Congress. Mr. President. I ask unanimous consent that this statement. and a letter addressed to me from the chairman of the board of directors of the American Immigration and Citizenship Conference be inserted in the RECORD at this point.
