Any number of chambers of commerce. Now. a word about population. On January 1. 1948. our population was 148.000.000. We add onequarter of 1 percent to our population over a 3year period if we pass this bill. Furthermore. the increase is less than the total allowable immigration quotas for all nations for 3 years. We allow generally a little more than 150.000 persons to enter into the United States under our immigration statutes. For 3 years that would be 450.000. The number we allow entrance into this country under the present bill is 339.000. That is less than under permissible quotas for 3 years.
