The Senator from North Carolina may be sure I shall be in the front row the morning he opens his hearings. asking to be recognized as a witness. I repeat. as I close these remarks. that I believe the amendment I intended to off er is a sound and desirable one. It would not relate to anyone who entered the country in violation of the immigration laws. It would safeguard illegally admitted persons from being deported. and from having loss of citizenship proceedings brought for acts said to have been committed but which may have occurred 15. 20 or 30 years ago. I do not believe longtime residents of the United States should be subjected to what I consider to be this grossly unfair treatment. and therefore I plead with the Senate to give favorable consideration to such amendment. although I would not deny my friend. the Senator from Massachusetts an opportunity either to accept or reject the amendment and take it to conference. I am merely asking him to tell me what he would do should I offer it.
