Mr. President. one of the many reasons for the broadly based support for immigration reform. is the growing recognition that new legislation is needed to facilitate and encourage the entry of selected skilled and professional persons who can help meet urgent manpower needs and contribute directly to the development of our society. A case in point is the continuing need for highly skilled health research specialists. Several days ago the Presidents Commission on Heart Disease. Cancer. and Stroke. issued a significant resolution. It recommended in part. "that the immigration laws should be so revised as to facilitate the immigration and naturalization of scientists and physicians who can make special contributions to the intellectual resources of the Nation." S. 1932. now pending in the Judiciary Subcommittee on Immigration and Naturalization. would accomplish the recommendation of the Presidents Commission. It is the bill I introduced nearly a year ago. on behalf of myself and 26 other Senators. to carry out the legislative recommendations of Presidents Kennedy and Johnson. In an article for the New York Times of July 5. 1964.
