Mr. President. the Presidents desire to choose historic settings for the signing of important bills was dramatically revealed in his choosing Liberty Island for signing the immigration bill. The bill represents a correction in the old national origins quota system. and permits those wishing to immigrate to America to be admitted on the basis of their skills and their close relationship to those already here. The new bill is fair. The old law was tragically unfair. It was fitting and seemly that the new bill be signed at the base of the Statue of Liberty on Liberty Island in New York Harbor.
