Session #89 · 1965–67

Speech #890137921

The Senator from Hawaii is correct. He brought this matter to the attention of the committee. In response to the Senator. let me say that the language included in the report on page 27. reads as follows: There was also discussed a proposal to amend section 21 of the bill relating to the establishment of a numerical limitation on Western Hemisphere immigration on July 1. 1968. Additional language was suggested to be added to section 21(e) to provide that immigrant visas be allocated to any immigrant who becomes subject to the numerical limitation under the same system of preferences applicable to other immigrants as specified in section 203 of the Immigration and Nationality Act. It was the consensus of the committee that this is a matter that will be considered by the Select Commission on Western Hemisphere Immigration in the course of its study.
