Mr. Chairman. It is a very difficult assignment for one who has served on the Judiciary Committee for over 20 years to differ with his chairman of the full committee and also his chairman of the Subcommittee on Immigration. My friends and colleagues. it has been my good fortune not only to have been a Member of this great body for the past 21 years but also to have been a member of the Immigration and Nationality Subcommittee for 181/2 of those 21 years. I have seen a lot of immigration legislation come and go. I have voted for every progressive piece of immigration since I have been a member of this subcommittee since 1947. I was chosen. so I was told by our late and beloved friend. Tad Walter. as the balance wheel on the old fiveman subcommittee on immigration. yestwo liberals. two conservatives and myself. I appreciated the confidence that was placed in me at that time and I hope that you will agree with me on both sides of the aisle today that I have never done anything in any way or by any official act to have violated that confidence. Personally. my colleagues.
