I think it is well for the Senate to deliberate for a few moments upon the substitute. It has not been read or printed. I think It is well for us to consider what we are about to vote upon. As I have read this proposal. it attempts to change the amendment which was added to the bill. providing that 200.000 persons be brought In on nonquota visas. The substitute would admit. in the first year. 70.000. and in the 2 years 140.000. I can see perfectly well why those who advocated a total admission of 100.000 would now call this proposal a compromise.
