The purpose of the amendment of the Senator from Rhode Island is to distribute unused quotas regardless of nationality. on two fundamental bases: first. the degree to which they can help the United States. and. second. the degree to which these people are themselves in need. In other words. we are trying to cut across the ground of racial discrimination. and to judge eligibility upon the conditions and capacities of the immigrants themselves. not by the country of their birth. For example. let us consider the question of special skills. As has been said over and over again. the purpose of the amendment which is now being considered is to have onequarter of the pooled. unused quotas distributed among individuals according to their special skills and the need of those skills in the United States.
