Raymond Farrell is a brilliant career offcial who has been in the Federal Government for over 40 years and wa selected by the late President Kennedy to be Commissioner of Immigration and Naturalization Service. His departure from public service will be a real loss to our Government. for. as I predicted a decade ago. he combined "a compassionate heart with a thorough knowledge of the law." In my State of Rhode Island. we are particularly proud of Ray Farrell because he is a Rhode Islander. born in Pawtucket. who has maintained his residence and his ties with his home State through his years of service In the Federal Government here in Washington. Mr. President. I could speak atgreat length as someone who is greatly interested in the plight of refugees and those from less fortunate nations. who desire immigration to our shores. No man in Government has more exemplified what America is all about than this man who was charged with the enforcement and administration of our immigration laws. It is written in the Bible. Micah 6: 8: What does the Lord require of thee. but to do justly. and to love mercy. and to walk humbly with thy God?
