Chairman. I am not so much concerned at the moment about the propaganda provisions of this legislation. which seems to be the chief concern of the Foreign Affairs Committee. My chief concern is the immigration features which. In my opinion. compose about ninetenths of the bill. This is a bill to bring people into this county. I want to direct your attention specifically to section 20 on page 3. and paragraphs 3. 4. 5. and 6 under title VII. and more particularly to title VIII. You can well understand that my time is not sufficient to read and discuss each of these sections. but the bill is short and you can read them in a very few minutes. It was my pleasure to serve on the Immigration and Naturalization Commitee for 4 years. and I am somewhat familiar with the antics of this Administration when it comes to dealing with immigration. As I read this bill. it practically voids our existing immigration laws and authorizes the Secretary of State to admit persons to this country absolutely without limitation. All quotas are disregarded and the safeguards we have set up over the past 150 years becomes meaningless. The debate on Tuesday was confined principally to the exchange of students.
