September 13. the large Chrysler Corp. is going to open in my district a plant where they intend to employ 5.000 individuals in the manufacture of new automobiles. At the same time I am reminded that there are various automotive parts manufacturers in my district. small independent concerns. which are going to be affected by this legislation one way or the other. some may benefit. and I am inclined to feel that many more may suffer some detriment if the bill is passed. We debated here recently an immigration bill and we were persuaded to reject a certain amendment because we were told that foreign policy was being made by the Executive and we should follow that foreign policy. That bill had hardly left this Chamber when the policy of the Executive was changed. in order to follow the policy which had been proposed in this Chamber by the amendment. Now we are urged to support this legislation as a fait accompli on the basis that it represents part of our foreign policy and we have to support that foreign policy.
