A temporary plan was sought that might be used while the survey was being made. The law of 1924 contains two provisions as to how the quotas should be established. The temporary quota system was to continue until July 1. 1027. The permanent or nationalorigins quota system was to go into effect on July 1. 1927. Many Members of the present Congress voted for this bill. This temporary plan was to allow each country an annual quota equal to 2 per cent of the foreign born of that country in the United States according to the 1890 census. The permanent plan was to accept the quotas that this committee of experts might find that each country was fairly entitled to. The committee failed to conclude the survey by July 1. 1927. and an extension of one year was granted by Congress.
