First. Mr. Speaker. I wish to compliment my distinguished chairman for the work he has done on this bill. As a member of the Subcommittee on Immigration of the committee. I wish to point out to the chairman that I am personally gravely disappointed that the conferees of the House capitulated so quickly to the Senate version with respect to placing the limitation of 120.000 on the Western Hemisphere. I think it was only last week that the House adopted a resolution which poked a finger right in the eye of all of Latin America. I think now. by the inclusion of the adoption of a limitation or quota on the Western Hemisphere. we are taking the finger and poking it into the other eye of Latin America.
