There does exist today a critical shortage of competently trained religious workers to meet the needs of schools. hospitals. orphanages. and other charitable institutions maintained by various religious organizations. This legislation will provide a ready reservoir of dedicated people to insure the continuation of the invaluable services which these organizations render. To those concerned about the volume of individual immigration into this country as a result of the passage of this legislation. the Committee on the Judiciary. and more specifically. the Subcommittee on Immigration and Nationality will. of course. watch very closely the results of this legislation. should the bill move through the other body and become law. I was the principal author of the numerical ceiling provisions of the Immigration Reform Act of 1965. and I have a continuing interest in the matter of control over the total numbers of people as well as the quality of people who are permitted entry into the United States for permanent residence and ultimate citizenship. I assure Members of this body that as one member of the Subcommittee on Immigration and Nationality. I will be watching very closely to see the volume of people who move into the United States as a result of the passage of this bill. I join the opinions as expressed by the gentleman from New Jersey that we need not be concerned. on the basis of what we know and can reasonably expect. about getting too many people.
