To continue the restrictions now imposed is to deny ourselves the creative energies and talents of individuals. and their families. unfortunate enough to be afflicted with this disease whose course can now be interrupted and controlled. In so doing. we are failing to recognize our great progress in the health fields. and we not only stand still. legally speaking. but look backward. I believe that this House will join me in support of this effort to amend the Immigration and Nationality Act. And as we ponder this necessary change. we might be reminded of the words of Emma Lazarus in her poem "The New Colossus": Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame. With conquering limbs astride from land to land.
