Mr. Speaker. I commend the distinguished and hard working chairman of our subcommittee for his efforts to get the straight message of our subcommittee immigration bill to all the people. The answers he has prepared to a series of practical questions are the meat of the new immigration law. In down to earth language our chairman explains what the bill will do and what it will not do. It really takes knowhow to reduce a complicated and technical matter such as this to language that everyone can understand. The gentleman from Ohio most certainly has the necessary knowhow which he demonstrated as chairman of our subcommittee and as advocate of the immigration bill produced by our subcommittee. People want to know what the new law is all about and they have a right to know. I compliment our chairman for his efforts to keep the people informed about the new selective system of immigrant admissions and for explaining in simple. plain. understandable language how the system will work. Our subcommittee held open hearings on this most important legislation for over 31/2 years. This year our chairman literally worked our subcommittee like he was old "Simon Legree." We met day after dayweek after week. and month after month until we had completed our most difficult assignment.
