I realize that. but I may point to something which my colleague from Utah does not. I think. fully appreciate. If there was not the evil national origins quota system. legislation of this sort. special legislation which has already been enacted 5. 6. or 7 times for the benefit of merely one group. would not be necessary. Under the bill which has been introduced. S. 2585. on which I hope there will be hearings. together with other bills which have been introduced. persons would be admitted on their merits because of their skills. because of the need of reuniting families. because they were escapees or persecutees. and because they could make contributions to the economic. political. and social life of the United States. Under that kind of bill. legislation of the type now being considered would not be necessary. but it is needed so long as national origins quotas are in existence.
