The Reverend Joseph A. Cogo. C.S.. national executive secretary of ACIM. pointed out that notwithstanding the generous granting of visas in the last 21/2 years. there still remains for Italy a backlog of about 100.000 brothers and sisters of American citizens. some of whom have been waiting to migrate since as far back as 1955. He said.: Only emergency legislation of some type will effectively wipe out such a backlog and thus place Italy on a truly equal level with all other countries after July Ist. In looking back at the results of this Act after two and onehalf years of operation. our first reaction is one of optimism and satisfaction.
