The fifth preference. brothers and sisters of American citizens. is clearly a workable concept. It is working in virtually every country except Italy. There is no reason to believe that the fifthpreferance system cannot also work in Italy if only the systern can be inaugurated when all countries are on an equal immigration footing. A prime goal of our American Immigration policy is the reuniting of families. This legislation is totally in accord with that guiding principle and will allow many American families of Italian descent the longawaited chance to reunite with loved ones now barred from the United States. I certainly hope that we are able to enact this important and necessary measure.
