President. the Senator from Missouri has suggested an amendment to my amendment that. in fact. does set virtually no limits at all. The purpose of the legislation. the purpose of the sense of the Congress resolution. is to establish a bona fide limit. If we assume. as the Senator from Missouri suggests. that there are already 650.000 immigrants into this country. and then we exclude the members of families which come in under the nonquota portion of our immigrants. which is estimated to be 110.000 for the year. there is a disagreement on the numbers. As I have pointed out before in this discussion. that is understandable. because this whole area has been neglected so much by both Congress and the administration that virtually nobody knows. I would like for the Senator from Missouri to indicate how many he is talking about in his amendment. what kind of figure he is really setting.
