Mr. Speaker. the problem of the impact of the 1965 amendments to the Immigration Act is a very real one which urgently requires the close attention of the Congress. It is of utmost importance. in my humble judgment. that we join to amend and clarify the amendments to this act to eliminate certain injustices and disbalances which have resulted to a number of friendly foreign nations by the operation of this legislation. I am deeply concerned and greatly disturbed by the way the new immigration laws are working out with respect to Ireland and some other nations. I applaud the objectives of reuniting families and attracting overseas immigrants with needed skills. who can contribute to our economy and national life. I have been fighting. too. for justice and equity in our immigration laws. I must admit. however. there are some very distressing developments resulting from the enactment of the new law. Ireland and practically every nation in northern Europe has had its quota cut.
