Mr. Chairman. I am opposed to this legislation. increasing the flow of immigrants from certain foreign countries. The chief justification for the legislation. as Iunderstand it. is to correct inequities perpetrated by the 1965 amendments to the Immigration and Nationality Act. I have no judgment as to accuracy of the allegations that inequities do exist. My reasoning for opposition to the. legislation makes the presence of such alleged inequities irrelevant and immaterial. My position. therefore. should not be interpreted as a bias toward those nationalities purported to be benefited by passage of the proposal. that is. Irish. Italians. British. and Germans.
