Mr. President. just a word in regard to the pending committee amendment. The committee thought it wise to insert the word " study" on line 21. page 4. so as to make it clear that young people coming to this country without the intention of remaining permanently might be admitted without being carglt under the quota law. It has always been our policy under the present quota law.. under the Chinese exclusion acts. and under all our other legislation that tends to restrict imirtgration. to admit bona fide students to the United States. and that privilege is very extensively taken advantage. cf. We think it ought to be continued. and we were not certain that the word "business" was broad enough to include /he occupation of a student. The abuse of this prirleXe is prevented by the provisions of section 12. which wil. b found on page 16. which make it clear that the admission bf a student will be for such time and under such condficns as may be prescribed by regulations.
