That is right. The gentleman will remember that on line 9 of my original bill there were the words "other dependent areas except the Philippine Islands." We had an exception for the Philippine Islands. That was in my original bill because I assumed the right thing was to maintain the status of all those who had immigration privileges while extending them to those who were denied them. But I agreed with the committee that the truly fair thing was to put all on a basis of equality under a uniform formula. Therefore. as the gentleman knows. I rewrote the bill. and among other things struck out that section which continued certain special privileges for Filipinos and the Chinese.
