I urge the support of House Joint Resolution 454 to provide for the development of Ellis Island as a part of the Statue of Liberty National Monument. On March 16 of this year I filed a similar bill which was the first bill of its kind. H.R. 6321. My bill provided that Ellis Island be made a separate historic site and not part of another historic monument. Mr. Speaker. America is truly a nation of immigrants. Her heritage is unique. for in a sense. she is a part of all the nations of the world. To her shores have come literally millions of Europeans.
