As you are aware other Members have joined me in sponsoring legislation to remove that oversubscription. at least through October 3. 1965. However. we are now faced with new backlogs. created since 1965. Fifth preferences are being filed with the Immigration and Naturalization Service at a greater rate than fifth preference visas are being issued by the Consular Service. The new third preference for professionals and the sixth preference for skilled and unskilled employees of petitioning employers are both oversubscribed and are going to continue to be oversubscribed. unless some changes are made in the law. Next Wednesday. my Subcommittee will hold the first of the executive session hearings with representatives of the State.
