Mr. President. yesterday I took a few moments of the Senates time to comment on the proposed immigration law which had been presented by President Kennedy to the Congress. In this mornings New York Times there is a fine editorial entitled "A New Immigration Law." in which the editorial writer reminds us that President Kennedy. as Senator Kennedy. wrote a pamphlet the theme of which was summed up in its title. "A Nation .of Immigrants." The editorial makes much of the fact that the President. as Senator. was deeply interested in the whole subject of immigration. I call the attention of the Senate to the fact that it was my privilege to be a cosponsor. with the then Senator Kennedy. now President Kennedy. of immigration. legislation very much along the line of the proposal which he has sent to Congress. I should add that the proposalof yesterday in his special message on immigration policy is a more comprehensive proposal. and I think it gets at the roots of some of the real difficulties that have plagued our countrys immigration policy. I ask unanimous consent that the editorial. entitled "A New Immigration Law." be printed at this point in the record.
