Therefore. it became the subject for conference between the Senate and the House. I must say that I am very disappointed with the conference report now before us. I very much regret that the House conferees saw fit to recede from the House position and accept a provision in this bill which has absolutely nothing to do with racial discrimination. The decision to ban New York States Englishlanguage literacy test for Puerto Rican citizens is a pure concession to political demagoguery. These are not my words but the words of the New York Times in its July 30 editorial. I fully subscribe to this editorial expression.
