Every Puerto Rican in New York can vote if he qualifies in the reading and writing of the English language. To finish my statement. I have actually joined in submitting testimony on the literacy test bill which was before the Senate during the last session. That bill would have opened the door to Puerto Ricans in New York who could not qualify in the English language. If they qualify. they can vote now. I was an ardent advocate of that bill. and. as I recall. the Senator from Georgia was one of its ardent opponents. and. with all respect. I think he was one of the architects who brought about its defeat or frustration here.
