Mr. President. these four amendments deal with the following areas: First of all. in the bill. there is what I would call a technical problem in that if the President asks for an increase in the overall level of immigration of 5 percent or less. that goes into effect unless Congress acts to deny him that increase. If he asks for 5 percent or more. that does not go into effect unless Congress acts affirmatively. That clearly was not the intent. it seems to me. of the bill. What this says is if the President asks for 5 percent or less. it goes into effect unless Congress disapproves.
