But there is yet another way that we can aid these peoplewe can give them new hope and a new future here in the United States. I am today introducing a bill which would authorize special legislation to permit the immediate entry into the United States of 2.000 natives of Italy and their families who lost their .homes and livelihoods as a result of the Sicilian earthquakes. Use of existing immigration provisions to accomplish this would penalize Italians who have already applied for entry into this country because it would count the number of earthquake victim immigrants against the ceiling on Italian immigration. My proposed legislation would permit special visas to be issued to these distressed aliens. and the number of immigrants entering under these provisions would not count against the Italian immigration quota. Mr. Speaker.
