Mr. President. I wish to say that on December 14. from the Committee on Immigration. there was reported unanimously a bill of which I was the author to place Mexico under the immigration quota. and I shall offer an amendment to place Central and South America under the quota. The Senator from Pennsylvania and I have been trying for some time to get the steering committee of the Senate to allow us to take up this bill. but thus far wehave not succeeded. I wish to ask the Senator from Kentucky . the chairman of the steering committee. if he will not try to get the committee to arrange for the consideration of the bill. to which I have referred. within the next few days.
