Mr. Speaker. I recently addressed the House on the subject of dangers involved in proposed changes in our national origins quota system of admitting. I pointed to the fact that if the Presidents proposed changes were adopted it would mean the admission of more than 100.000 additional immigrants from Europe to this country each year. And the figure could easily approximate 150.000. Moreover it would upset the historic pattern of admissions from different countries. Since that address was made on February 16 I have received a lot of mail in support of my positionthat of maintaining our present system of orderly admissions and our present restrictions.
