Mr. Speaker. today I have reintroduced a bill similar to one which I introduced during the Eightieth Congress. This bill provides that the annual immigration quotas for Italy for the fiscal years 1950 and 1951 shall be increased by an amount equal to the unused Italian quotas for the past 10 years. If this bill becomes law. the number of Italians who would be admitted to this country during the next 2 years would be 36.709. Mr. Speaker. the United States has sought to help Italy to recover from the ravages and devastation of war. The United States has. since the end of the war. spent upwards of $2.000.000.000 to rehabilitate Italy.
