Mr. President. I do not think that any action ought to be taken on this resolution without a challenge being made to the wording in line 7. which implies that the estimates of immigration quotas are "unsupported by responsible documentary evidence." I do not believe that that is the fact or that at any time it has been the fact. so I would not want the resolution to be agreed to without that statement or implication being challenged. I will say that the nationalorigins quotas have been the subject of constant study. that we are now advised by the Census Bureau that they are confident of the accuracy of the quotas as last established by their study. and that it is quite incorrect to state that they are " unsupported by documentary evidence" or that they are unsupported by other kinds of evidence. and the letter which is mentioned in the resolution did not make that admission.
