Mr. Speaker and Members of the House. a little over a year ago Congress passed a resolution postponing for one year the application of the nationalorigins method of determining immigration quotas. At that time a majority of the Senate Committee on Immigration were reported by the chairman of that committee to be in favor of a permanent repeal. The House Committee on Immigration in their report recommended that this method of determining quotas be eliminated from the 1924 immigration law. On account of the legislative situation due to the lateness in the session. the only action taken was to postpone the application of this clause for one year. At the opening of Congress last December I introduced a bill repealing the ilationalorigins clause.
