The only question that I think worries the committee is [which method] is the more plausible method of attaining that discrimination. Practically all of us are agreed that [racial discrimination] is an end that should be attained. However. since 1924. we have made tremendous progress toward removing racial restrictions in our immigration policies and practices. An outstanding milestone was the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952. It was a farreaching step forward in the relaxation of the racial curbs in our immigration statutes. It wiped out total exclusion against Japan and other Asian nations and for the first time allowed many nations a longdenied quota of immigrants. Progressive as that 1952 law was. today it is very obsolete. More than 10 years have now passed since its enactment.
