Mr. Speaker. the House Judiciary Subcommittee on Immigration is now considering changes in our immigration. as proposed to Congress last year by our late beloved President John Fitzgerald Kennedy. The Kennedy proposal would eliminate the present discriminatory national origins quota system. now based on the 1920 census. over a 5year period. and thereafter would place all quota numbers in one pool. President Johnson has firmly endorsed this proposal of the late President. Attorney General Robert Kennedy. in a letter to the editor of the New York Times. August 14. also advocates enactment of this legislation by Congress and urges every American to support the change in our immigration law. Mr. Speaker. under permission granted.
