I submit that no one of you could have heard their testimony. never blinking an eye. never dodging an issue. who did not become sold on the final product that FRANK FELLOWS and the men on his subcommittee wrote into this bill. This bill does not authorize the admission of even one additional alien. in the long run. It preserves our immigration laws and quota systems. exactly as they are. It simply steps on the accelerator for 2 years. charging every immigrant admitted to his proper quota. and then steps on the brakes. No matter how long it may require to pay off the mortgage put upon future quotas. it must be paid. And by reason of the better screening required we will get even more desirable citizens from those DPs admitted under this bill than would be possible under routine administration of the law as it now stands.
