Mr. President. I introduce. for appropriate reference. a bill to amend the Immigration and Nationality Act to provide that the minimum quota for any quota area shall be raised from 100 to 250 persons per year. At the present time there are 35 nations with quotas of less than 250. most of which have an annual quota of 100. This is a very modest bill which will add about 5.000 quota places a year. but it is an important bill in that it is a step toward easing the discriminatory restrictions which bear down heavily on African and Asian nations. Among the nations whose immigration quota would be more than doubled are Burma. Cyprus. India.
