Hence the backlog did develop. There have been arguments that this bill as written would not curb or prevent the recurrence of backlogs in the future. and that backlogs will recur. The State Department figures indicate that the additional visas provided in the bill are sufficient to clear up the "live" backlog and provide a few extra visas for the sixth preference category. Future allotments should be sufficient to handle any new immigrants. The overwhelming vote of the committee against this amendment was a sound one. and it should be sufficient testimony to the efficacy of their position and of the opposition to the amendment.
