Mr. Speaker. early in June I introduced legislation designed to modernize our outdated immigration and naturalization laws. My colleague from Massachusetts. Representative BRAD MORSE. introduced an identical bill. One of the most important features of the bill would gear the national origins quota system to the total U.S. population in 1960 and reflect actual immigration between 1920 and 1960. This would increase the total annual immigration and provide needed relief for areas whose quotas are now heavily oversubcribed. Typical of the favorable reaction to this legislation is an editorial which appeared recently in the Lowell (Mass.) Sun commending Congressman MORSE for his action:
