One of the points that I always make when I address those groups of immigrants who are on that proud occasion becoming U.S. citizens is to say that from that moment forward. they share the most unique privilege in the world. and that is. they are U.S. citizens with all of the rights. including the constitutional rights. attendant thereto. If we as a body are desirous of doing what is right in this bicentiennial year of the Constitution. if we are desirous of fulfilling and satisfying the first responsibility our Founding Fathers gave to the Federal Government to establish justice. then it is incumbent on us to right this wrong. Let me just say in terms of the dollar amount. it is $2.863 in 1945 dollars. Certainly that amount of money is. if anything. too little. not too much.
