Speech #890120777

Chairman. I am happy that I am alive and I am humbly grateful that my constituents have extended my service into the 89th Congress. In the campaign of 1948 the unpopular. undemocratic immigration law with its cruel and snobbish national origins formula was one of the issues. as also. was the repeal of obnoxious provisions of the TaftHartley Labor Act. When I. with many other new Members. came to the 81st Congress. I thought it was with the clear mandate from the American people to clean the stables of an unworthy immigration law and unfair provisions in the labor law of our land. That was 17 years ago. I have waited long and patiently. I have come hopefully to other and later Congresses. the 83d. the 84th. the 85th. the 86th. the 87th. the 88th. and each has run its course and taken its place in history with the mandate of the American people in 1948 as regards immigration and labor unheeded and unnoticed. But. Mr.
