I am aware of the many hours which the Ways and Means Committee devoted to this legislation and the many concessions and other agreements which were concluded in order to favorably report a bill of such importance. Nevertheless. for the reasons I have mentioned as well as for other defects which have been discussed by a number of our colleagues I do not believe that the enactment of this legislation is in the best interests of the Nations trading ability or domestic economy. Thus. while I give my wholehearted support to the freedom of emigration portions of the bill. I intend to oppose it on final passage.
