Mr. Speaker. I thank the gentleman for yielding. Mr. Speaker. I want to express my very warm support for this legislation. I think it is very much in the tradition of this country. I think we would all do well to bear in mind our own ancestryand I suspect there are many Members of this Chamber whose greatgrandparents might have been immigrants into this country who became citizens before we imposed the literacy requirement. Mr. Speaker. I represent an area where there are many Portuguese citizens who would be affected by this legislation and I commend this bill to the Members and thank them and the committee for their understanding.
