Mr. Speaker. we hear. with alarming frequency. charges that colleges and universities across our country are using quota systems to limit the admission of AsianAmericans. These charges do not appear unfounded. There is ample evidence of a conscious effort aimed at reducing the percentage of AsianAmericans at certain institutions of higher education. These are not isolated incidents. That is why Congresswoman SAIKI and myself are introducing a sense of the Congress resolution expressing outrage at the use of quotas to limit the number of AsianAmericans. or for that matter students of any race or nationality. Mr. Speaker. the facts suggest we may be returning to a period in American history when ugly. yet similar. quotas were used to limit the number of Jewish students.
