Mr. President. I am today introducing a bill to update the four immigration quota preferences under the Immigration and Nationality Act and to utilize the existing unused quota numbers. Last January. when the Senate Immigration Subcommittee held hearings on bills to reform the immigration quota system. I stated that "the end of a long and frustrating road toward immigration reform" had begun to come into view. Unfortunately. although a significantly large number of Senators have cosponsored the various reform bills which have been introduced by me. by others of my colleagues. and by the administration. despite the hearings held last January by the Senate subcommittee and more recently by the. House committee. despite the support of the administration as expressed in the testimony of Secretary of State Rusk. it is apparent that another session of Congress will soon end without any action in this field.
