We must consider the present and future unemployment of our working population. Our Nation is already populated from coast to coast. Today we must seek the skills and talents which new immigrants can bring to our shores. We must seek the quality of their contribution to our Nation. not the quantity of numbers. Let us fashion a new law which eliminates all discrimination on the basis of national origin and asks only of a man what he can contribute to the American civilization of 1965. Because I am so deeply concerned with the nature of our future immigration laws. I introduced earlier this year my own immigration bill. H.R. 8203. At Judiciary Committee hearings on proposed Immigration legislation. I expressed agreement with the basic purpose of H.R. 2580 as then proposed by the administration but I suggested certain important improvements which I had incorporated in my bill. I am pleased to note that most of the improvements which I suggested be made have been included by the Judiciary Committee in the version of H.R. 8203 Which is before the House today.
