The class by its nature will continue to increase. and this points out quite clearly the dangers involved in further extensions of the relative preference groups. It is an interesting fact. too. that out of the total fourth preference registrations of 163.805. nearly 114.717 of that number are registered on the quota of one country. It is true. Mr. President. that some of the quotas are oversubscribed and that certain relatives in those countries face a delay in obtaining visas. but to me those circumstances do not justify scrapping the quota system. In 90 of the 114 principal quota areas. there is no waiting period at all for immediate family groups. In 54 of the countries there is no waiting period for anyone.
