Mr. President. last week. the citizens committee for immigration reform. under the leadership of Father Theodore Hesburgh. sponsored a unique luncheon in New York to honor Americas immigrants. The citizens committee selected a representative sample of recent immigrants to the United States in order to demonstrate the important contributions immigration has made to our society. They sought to honor those who have brought so much to America simply by coming to America. This salute to themto Theodore Bikel. to Michael Blumenthal. to Pamela Harriman. to Wassily Leontief. to Felix Rohatyn. among many otherswas really a salute to all who have made this country great. For we are. as President Kennedy wrote. a "Nation of Immigrants" and we can still be very proud of this heritage and what it has brought to America. Mr. President.
