Mr. Speaker. todays New York Times contains a most illuminating news item aptly describing the 1964 Republican platforms immigration plank just as it is. "innocuous to the point of being meaningless." The highly responsible American Immigration and Citizenship Conference has recently asked a group of Republican leaders to repudiate the "discriminatory national origins quota system and other inequities that have such a serious effect on our relationships abroad." This citizens conference is composed of religious. welfare. and labor organizations covering the entire spectrum of American political interests and is understandably concerned about the intolerable immigration laws currently on this Nations lawbooks. I am inserting this news article so that my colleagues may see for themselves how one objective group feels the Republican Party is closing its ears and its eyes to the needs of an oppressed world society.
