The agricultural laws are a common example familiar to all of us. Frequently they refer to certain base years in the past for the purpose of establishing parity indexes and crop quotas. So the immigration laws refer to immigration ratios as of the year 1920. and the Emergency Price Control Act of 1942. which I believe came under the shorthand label of "OPA." established price limitations on products based upon conditions existing at certain periods in the past. But what is most significant and what must be clearly kept in mind is that the bill we are offering does not proscribe or prohibit discrimination in voting on account of race or color. That prohibition. that proscription. has been barred by our Constitution for almost 100 years.
