Speaker. the closIng hour of the 84th Congress is drawing near. and to this minute the House and the Senate have not agreed to iron out differences on legislation that would give relief to minority groups now handicapped from bringing their relatives and friends to the United States. Early in the first session of this Congress I joined with Senator SALTONSTALL in filing identical bills. H. R. 2558 and S. 519. which would correct many of the inequities in the socalled McCarranWalter Immigration Act. Our bill provides for the pooling of unused quotas and their allocation the next succeeding year to those waiting lists of quotas 7.000 and under. including the Italian. Greek.
