Our bill is not a process or formula for taking away. We are not saying to Great Britain and Ireland. "You have had the privilege of sending us. if you cared to do so. 25.000 or 26.000 immigrants annually. and. because you have not done so for the past 10 years. we are going to cut you down to 15.000." In the HumphreyLehman bill we are merely saying. "You still have the authority to utilize quota numbers up to the maximum. but if in any year you do not do so. if you do not feel that you can accept our invitation. let us hand that invitation over to some other poor souls who really want to come to America. make their homes here. and contribute to our way of life." In short. It is not a process of taking away. It is a process of utilizing quota numbers up to 150.000.
