I hope the amendment just offered. which leads to doing away with the nonquota immigrants. will not be adopted. Your committee has spent a great deal of time on these provisions. If you do not have some of the nonquotaimmigrant provisions. you will have some of the trouble that we have under the present law. which makes some immigrants either quota or nouquota. some countable or not. Thus. a minister under the present quota law may be counted If the quota is open. and then comes without being counted if the quota is exhausted. That has resulted in a man who ought to be exempted all the way through being counted at the point of entry. to the detriment of a man standing by his side. who is sent back as in excess of the quota. To continue this would be a mistake.
