On the other hand. under the Presidents proposal. existing national quotas would be reduced at the rate of 20 percent annually until the allotments were wiped out In 5 years. These quota numbers would go into a reserve pool for redistribution under the system of priorities I mentioned earlier. The power to redistribute quota numbers lies entirely in the hands of the President himself. with the advice and help of a new sevenman immigration board. An extraordinarily wide latitude of discretionary power is thus lodged in the hands of a single person. In any case. the decision now lies with Congress. which I believe. should explore fully all the implications of both proposals. I am completing an exhaustive study of our immigration laws and policies to present to the Senate in the near future. I shall strongly support efforts to basically revise our immigration laws and policies.
