Speaker. reserving the right to object. I read the following statement from page 2 of the report: On September 3. 1954. the third of a series of bills authorizing the admission of a number of aliens skilled in sheepherding was enacted. A total of 385 nonquota visas were made available under this law. Two bills enacted In the 81st and 82d Congresses. respectively. authorized the issuance of 750 quota visas. with a provision for deduction of the quota numbers in the years following. In making a study of. immigration problems in Spain earlier this year. a special subcommittee of the Committee on the Judiciary of the House learned that the wives and children of a number of these sheepherders were in distressed condition because of their inability to get visas under the annual Spanish quota of 250. which is heavily oversubscribed. In an effort to relieve this situation in an equitable manner. provision is made in the bill for a nonquota status for the wives and children of the sheepherders whose admission was authorized by the act of September 3. 1954. or under either of the preceding acts aforementioned. Mr.
