It is my understanding that in 1924 we had an immigration from Western Hemisphere countries of 190.000 immigrants. As the Senator pointed out. assuming the fact we had 190.000 coming at that particular time. there was no effort to place a restriction on the Western Hemisphere countries. I believe that in light of the history of our relationship with the Western Hemisphere countries. it is important to indicate to our Latin American and Canadian friends that there are many of us deeply concerned about this particular provision in the legislation. I wanted to ask the Senator whether it was his feeling. given the history of our relationships within the Western Hemisphere. that the provisions of this bill are of a restrictive nature?
