Mr. Speaker. the overwhelming popular support of American citizens for the programs of President Johnson was again demonstrated this week with the published results of the Gallup poll on proposed revision of the immigration laws. The results of this poll printed in the July 25 New York Herald Tribune Indicated that 7 out of 10 Americans support the basic plan of President Johnson to change our immigration laws to reflect an emphasis on job skills and an abandonment of the old national origin system. As the article pointed out: If the public were drafting the new law. its provisions would be along the lines President Johnson has suggested. I believe this legislation is good. is necessary. and should be passed before this session of the 89th Congress finishes its business.
