Many of them live in my district. It was precisely to assist people like Teresa that I introduced H.R. 10808 on September 1. 1965. I introduced it exactly 1 week after the House had passed its version of the Immigration and Nationality Act Amendments of 1965. since it had already become clear that the new law would not help the Cubans who were in this country to become permanent residents. I was. of course pleased when. 9 months later. on May 23. 1966. my colleague. the gentleman from New York . who is a member of the Immigration Subcommittee of the Judiciary Committee. introduced the bill which we will vote on today. H.R. 15183. This bill. which is very similar to mine. would alleviate the problems of the Cuban refugees. Moreover. I was gratified when. in the first week of August. the Departments of Justice and State expressed their support of the bill and said that there were no overriding diplomatic objections to its passage.
