On page 2 of that report the language is: In compliance with the directions of this statute we have appointed a departmental committee to study this subject and to make calculations of what the quotas should be under the provisions of the law. and after consideration of and based upon the report of that committee. we. in the discharge of the duty laid upon us by the statute. have niade the determination provided in subdivision (c) of section 11 of the act and Jointly submit herewith the quota of each nationality determined as provided in subdivision (b) of the act. We also transmit the report. with its two inclosed tables. of the departmental committee appointed by us to study this subject and make calculations of what the quotas should be under the foregoing provisions of the act. The committee appointed by the three Secretaries to make and report this ascertainment had. on February 21. 1929. made a report to them in which. among other things. they said: Sins: The committee which you appointed to determine immigration quotas on the basis of national origin as prescribed by the immigration act of 1024 respectfully submit the following report : As a result of careful search carried on during the year that has elapsed since the previous report of February 25. 1928. was submitted. a limited amount of additional data. principally in the field of foreign statistics of emigration to the United States. has been obtained and utilized. At the same time the processes followed in utilizing census and immigration statistics. as explained in our previous report. have been reviewed and somewhat improved. As a result of the very considerable amount of effort thus expended. the figures previously submitted have been slightly revised. We are of the opinion *that further study would not appreciably modify these results.
