There was one point which struck me with a great deal of concern. A great deal of the criticism of that particular bill was directed toward segments of the bill which were in effect brought together and codified under this one piece of legislation. Our naturalization and immigration laws and provisions were scattered throughout the context of all kinds of legislation. Many of its provisions came about through riders on appropriations bills and small acts of different kinds pertaining to the subject of immigration and naturalization. I would say at least 80 or 90 percent of the WalterMcCarran bill was the bringing together of these various bits of legislation scattered throughout the code into one place where we who would be interested in an immigration problem could find and study the code provisions thereof. Yet. it seemed like in every one of these areas that were codified. that were brought together. people who objected to the provisions of that particular section of the act cast blame and criticism upon the gentleman from Pennsylvania. Congressman WALTER.
