President. on the floor of the Senate there have been some sharp criticisms and some unjustified condemnation of those who oppose the ratification of this treaty. with the statejment that the latter belong at one end of .the. spectrum of political belief. Also some reference has been made to peoples who have come to this Nation. not on the Mayflower or at the time of the Revolutionary War. but in more recent years. I am the son of an immigrant. my father came here 90 years ago. I would not presume to know what the American people can or cannot understand. but I can understand the sorrow of a mother and a father who sit down and write to me about the death of their son. their only son. as the pilot of a plane that flew over North Vietnam. They are not recent arrivals. nor do they belong to any political organization that is at one end of the political spectrum or the other.
