Mr. President. I do not care to make any extended remarks except to call the attention of the Senate to the fact that this is an amendment which would suspend all immigration into the country for a period of five years with the exception of visitors under the law and with the exception that those who have heretofore come into the country as nonquota immigrants will still be permitted to come into the United States. In other words. the amendment provides for an immigration holiday for five years. It would not affect the provision which has just been voted upon with reference to national origins. At the expiration of five years the suspension of Immigration would be ended and. unless some other law had been enacted in the meantime. we would then receive immigration under the law as it now exists.
