Mr. Chairman. I rise to express my support for the very much publicized amendment placing a limitation on Western Hemispheric immigration. I wish only to point out several items which I feel make this amendment an absolute necessity. First. the only device in this bill which limits the number of immigrants from the Western Hemisphere is the socalled labor clearance clause. We are expected to believe that prior to approving an application the Secretary of State must first be assured by the Secretary of Labor that such approval will not displace or inconvenience any American worker. Mr. Chairman. the labor clearance clause is not a workable provision.
