It was my privilege to visit the Ryukyus last December with Senator ERNEST GRUENING of Alaska. as members of a special study group of the Senate Committee on Interior and Insular Affairs. We were both deeply impressed by the friendliness of the Ryukyan people. We were heartened by the local elections which were held there shortly before our visit. The proAmerican slate of candidates won by a landslide. Among the conclusions which Senator GRUENING and I reached as a result of our visit to the Ryukyus and a study of the problems there. is the need for legislation to grant the Ryukyans a quota for immigration to the United States. We are therefore introducing a bill to that effect for consideration by the appropriate committee and the Senate.
