MOORHEADS amendment providing for a oneHouse veto on the admissions in excess to normal flow. Mr. Chairman. I believe together these amendments will reassure the House of continued control over admissions of aliens into our country. Other amendments may be offered to restrict admissions which I believe do violence to our humanitarian tradition and which I shall oppose. Until 1924 the door to our country was virtually open to all fleeing famine or racial. religious. or political persecution. Most of us in this Chamber trace our ancestry to these earlier refugees. We have before us an opportunity to reaffirm Americas historic proud role as haven for the oppressed and the persecuted. E5 1620
