James J. Hines. indicated in a recent speech in Detroit. the increase in unused quota numbers undoubtedly reflects the impact of section 212(a) (14). as currently administered by the Department of Labor. There is ample evidence from statistics compiled by the Visa Office. that in countries such as England. Ireland. France. the Netherlands. Germany. and Austria. whose past immigration to the United States has been largely in the nonpreference category. immigration is being drastically affected by section 212(a) (14). Statistics show a sharp drop in total immigration from at least these countries. and in the nonrelative categories for other countries as well. A few examples will help to illustrate the point. I ask unanimous consent to have printed in the RECORD at the conclusion of my remarks a brief chart showing the issuance of visas in several countries.
