Mr. President. I rise in support of this bill. I happen to believe that it is not a quota bill. as many have read and feel is indicated. In fact. I come from an ethnic background where we absolutely oppose quotas because quotas were never used to get us into anything. Quotas were to keep us out. My background is that of a Roman Catholic. I am the first woman of PolishAmerican heritage to serve in the U.S. Congress. Those are cultural aspects that I enthusiastically am proud to embrace. But for years people with last names that ended in "ski." or an i or an "o" or a "y" were called the most despicable names.
