Mr. Speaker. as one of the original congressional sponsors of President Johnsons immigration reform program. I want to congratulate the distinguished chairman as well as the members of the House Judiciary Committee on their overwhelming 27to4 favorable vote on this progressive legislation. The President has described the committees action as "a breakthrough for reason. a triumph for justice." And he welcomed the committees enthusiastic bipartisan determination "to redeem the pledge of this Nation to posteritythat free men have no fear of justice. and proud men have no taste for bias." It is my earnest hope that this longoverdue measure may now be brought to the floor of the House for consideration at an early date. so that the first session of the 89th Congress may add yet another major accomplishment to its already illustrious record of legislative achievement.
