President. S. 3043. which I introduced with the cosponsorship of 25 of my colleagues. would accomplish the objective of which I speak. This bill would remove the discriminatory clauses in the Immigration and Nationality Act cf 1952. thereby raising the Chinese quota. It would also place on our statute books a permanent provision for the admission to this country of up to 50.000 refugees annually. from all parts of the world. This bill. Mr. President. would bring our present immigration concepts and practices more closely into line with our traditions and ideals. and add substantially to our good will throughout the world. Mr. President. I have a deep and abiding conviction that Americas actions for Chinese refugees will be sufficient and appropriate. and commensurate with the political realities of the interna ional arena. There has been some expression of concern that we have not done enough in Hong Kong. and that our position in the world has been damaged by recent happenings in the crown colony. But let us put some facts into focus.
