Speech #890120777

That which is moral in its principle. decent in its concept. and right in its application inevitably must triumph. If once the American people have spoken. and their mandate has been ignored or discarded. they will speak again and again. and their voices will take on the volume of thunder until the courage and the stubbornness of the deflers are broken. It is to the everlasting glory of the House of Representatives of the immortal 89th Congress that it has voted to repeal one of the most obnoxious provisions of the TaftHartley Act and that now in the closing week of the humid month of August in the year of 1965 it is about to retire forever an immigration law that was a reflection upon the very face of decency and did violation to the American image. In every Congress of which I have been a Member. I have talked and I have worked for a reformation of our immigration laws. In every Congress. I have introduced as a sponsor a bill that would end the national origins concept.
