Mr. President. that under the committee bill. every reasonable provision is made to prevent the separation of families. Let me enumerate some of the provisions of the committee bill which have been carefully worked out to effect this objective: First. A nonquota status is provided for an immigrant who is the child or the spouse of a citizen of the United States. Second. A 30percent preference under each quota is provided for aliens who are the parents of citizens of the United States. Third. A 20percent preference under each quota Is provided for aliens who are the spouses or children of aliens lawfully admitted for permanent residence.
