In his important role of chairman of the House Judiciary Committee. he continues to take a leading role in defining and shap. ing national priorities and promoting justice. His efforts to make narcotics control a component of U.S. foreign policy could once and for all give our Government the leverage it needs in dealing with countries that permit drug growers and exporters to operate openly within their borders. His name is also on a landmark piece of legislation now pending before this body. one that addresses the very difficult question of immigration policy. As one of the leading proponents of the move that eliminated national origin quotas. he is now fighting to ensure that people of all races and ethnic backgrounds have an equal opportunity to come to America without fear of discrimination or exploitation. PETER RODINO has always been somewhat of a pioneer in Congress. He has often been the first to speak out on important issues.
