President. a moment ago I was about to state that the modification from 10 percent to 20 percent a month is especially necessary because of the complicated system of quota preferences and priorities proposed by section 203 (a). with which I have no quarrel. but which will in processing entail further administrative delays. While on the subject of authorized quota admissions. I wish finally to suggest that the Senate consider two other proposals for making the regulations more responsive to national needs. First. I believe we should repeal the mortgage on future quotas created by the admission of immigrants under the Amended Displaced Persons Act. In many cases. countries with oversubscribed quotas have had these lists reduced by onehalf beyond the year 2000 A. D. Second. we should. in view of our increased population since 1920. raise the maximum limit of 150.000 upon immigration to a reasonably higher figure.
