Mr. Speaker. the Rules Committee has had before it since September of last year. H.R. 9615. which would correc6 certain inequities in the immigratioi. laws of this country. This bill has been delayed far too long and should be reported out immediately. While it took the Rules Committee 4 months to schedule its first hearing on this bill. all the blame cannot rest with that Committee. They subsequently scheduled hearings on January 20 and 27 and again on February 22. While the bill does not go far enough for certain countries. such as Greece. it would clear up most of the backlog in the fifth and sixth preference categories and at the same time eliminate inequities in the law that have produced a disadvantageous situation for formerly privileged countries of northern Europe.
