Speech #670077552

The excellent explanation satisfies me. and I shall not make any objection. The joint resolution was considered as in Committee of the Whole. and was read. as follows: Resolved. etc.. That aliens pf any nationality who are brought to the United States on vessels which departed from foreign ports on or before June 8. 1921. destined for the United States. and who apply In the month of June. 1921. for admission to the United States. may. if otherwise admissible. be admitted to the United States. although the limit prescribed by section 5 of the act entitled "An act to limit the immigration of aliens into the United States." approved May 19. 1921. may have been reached before such application for admission. The number of aliens of any nationality so admitted shall be deducted. under such regulations as the Secretary of Labor may prescribe. from the number of aliens of that nationality admissible. during the fiscal year beginning July 1. 1921. under the provisions of such act of May 19. 1921. but nothing in this resolution shall prohibit the admission of otherwise admissible aliens of any nationality during the month of July. 1921. up to 20 per cent of the number of aliens of that nationality admissible during such fiscal year under the provisions of such act of May 19. 1921. as heretofore promulgated. The joint resolution was reported to the Senate without amendment. ordered to a third reading. read the third time. and passed.
