Mr. President. I call attention to a release by the American Immigration and Citizenship Conference. The release contains the full text of a letter sent to the Republican vicepresidential nominee. The letter was signed by more than 40 national civic. labor. and religious groups which take strong exception to his attack on the pending immigration reform measures. I commend the conference members for their forthright stand on immigration reform and for their splendid efforts to alert the American people to the onslaught of negativism born of suspicion and ignorance. I join them and the thousands of American citizens they represent in the hope that before adjournment. Congress will put on the books an immigration law which reflects the American mainstream of morality and commonsense. In my book. its enactment would mark a great achievement for the American people. Mr. President. I ask unanimous consent that the release by the American Immigration and Citizenship Conference and the full text of its letter to the Republican vicepresidential nominee be made a part of my remarks at this point in the RECORD.
