The idea was that at the end of that period Congress could take another look at the matter. The amendment doubles that number and increases the number to be admitted very substantially. There is one other change made by the amendment in the nature of a substitute. It provides that the persons admitted as displaced persons shall be charged against the quota of socalled quota immigrants to be admitted under the existing law. It seems to me that the amendment should appeal to Members of the Senate who feel that 200.000 is entirely too large a number with which to experiment under existing circumstances.
