Speaker and Members of this House. those of you who believe that this is an immigration bill ought not to be alarmedit is not an immigration bill at all. This bill does not do one solitary thing to increase the number in the quota. The quota is 163.000 under the act of 1924. and it is going to remain 163.000. The committee in its wisdom is simply switching the preference. In other words. instead of calling it A they call it Z. How do they do it? They simply turn around and practically suspend immigration until the families will be united under certain provisions and in certain categories.
