The committee amendment would restore the provision for charging 50 percent of the quotas. Thus. the provision of the House bill would mortgage the quotas for twice as many years. in advance. as the present bill would mortgage. and would leave threequarters of the mortgage quotas available for use year by year whereas the present law leaves only 50 percent of the mortgage quotas available for use currently. In other words. the House bill mortgages the quotas further ahead and lets more aliens come in each year under the annual quotas. while the committee amendment goes back to the present law with a shorter period of mortgaging and fewer immigrants coming in each year under the quotas.
