Speech #880079624

Mr. President. on July 23 the President of the United States sent the Congress an historic message calling for the elimination from our immigration laws of the national origins quota system. On August 7. a communication signed by 72 national and local organizations from across the country was forwarded to the President endorsing his immigration message. One need but review the organizations thus listed to realize the concern among thoughtful people of this Nation for enactment of this legislation. I ask unanimous consent that the communication and the list of organizations signing it be printed at this point in my remarks.
