Mr. Speaker. the 1970s have been a period of realization for America that her economic power and resources are not limitless. The American public has painfully learned that our supply of energy is finite and that it must be conserved. This same philosophy of limits also can be applied to the Nations immigration problems. During the 1960s and early 1970s the United States allowed massive flows of immigrants to enter each year. At that time the economy wasgrowing and strong. Inflation was about 4 percent and the unemployment rate was around 5 percent. In addition. gasoline sold for about 35 cents a gallon.
