Mr. Speaker. since the House approved H.R. 9615. the socalled IrishItalian immigration bill on Thursday. March 16. I have heard from countless persons commending the committee for bringing this measure to the House. All of the persons who spoke to me expressed their concern for the families that have been separated and for the young new seed immigrant who is unable to compete for an immigrant visa as a result of the 1965 amendments to the Immigration and Nationality Act. Although no one expressed any fear that the aliens who might benefit from this act would have an effect on our high rate of unemployment. I would like the legislative history to show that this temporary legislation.
