In that address. our first President of the United States said these words: Citizens by birth or choice of a common country. that country has a right to concentrate your affections. The word affection was used at that time perhaps more than now. but the word meant commitment. Washington spoke of commitment to a countrya country. of course. that was going to be peopled by native and naturalized citizens. So. today. although this bill may not appear to have the national attention or impact that other measures have had in the past few days here. there perhaps is no more vital and crucial subject matter to be discussed and decided in the Senate than what we are now beginning. So I commend not only the Senator from Wyoming but also the Senator from Massachusetts and all those who have given painstaking study to this problem.
