But the courts merely interpret what Congress enacts as law. Up to the time Judge Bondy made his decision. Congress had not passed any law defining what adoption means as far as quota law is concerned. By subdivision (o) of section 28 -you are trying by legislation to reverse a court decision. and I do not believe you want to do that. I want to say a word aboutthis last amendment. I am satisfied this law ought not to be the permanent law of the land. Any law basing immigration on place of -birth is not good American law. -and for that reason I have offered an amendment that this shall continue to be. as the original quota -law was. just an emergency law until the congressional committees can bring .in some constructive. permanent immigration policy that is really American.
