The Senator is correct in his understanding. This legislation before us is a very important. but limited. adjustment to the McCarranWalter Act. This bill takes a particular part of existing law. as I mentioned in my speech. relating to immigration factors such as the national origins quota system. the AsiaPacific triangle. and the preference categories. and modifies them to remove a longstanding form of discrimination in our immigration laws. This specific legislation does not consider in any way. nor does the report. the matter which the Senator from Florida has mentioned. though certainly the matter which the Senator from Florida has mentioned is included generally within the total framework of the McCarranWalter Act.
