The actions and operations must be stepped up before a review of the requests in the coming year. This need is more apparent to me after having served as one of the managers on the part of the House of Representatives to seek agreement on the amendments of the Senate and the House. The Immigration and Nationality Act. generally known as the WalterMcCarran Act. was amended to abolish the national origins quota system effective July 1. 1968. The amendment established an annual limit from all former quota countries. with preference being given to persons with skills and professional abilities. Fortunately. an amendment was defeated which would have established quotas for the countries in the Western Hemisphere.
