WESTERN HEMISPHERE IMMIGRATION

11

The chairman will accept a motion to request the Joint Committee
 on Printing for the printing of more than the 1,000 copies
of these hearings which are authorized by law, or the number that
can be purchased for $200.
Mr. Jenkins. I so move.
The Cuatrmax. Is there objection? The Chair hears none. It
is so ordered.
I would like to place in the record the list of the committee which
was selected to work on the drafting. That was Messrs. Johnson,
Jenkins, Schneider, Box, and Kerr.
This committee will assemble in a room in the Capitol, if one can
be provided, at 9.30 every morning, on call of the chairman. It
will have the aid of Mr. Beaman, the law agent, and one or more of
his assistants.
Now we will proceed. You may resume, Mr. Husband. Will
you take charge, Mr. Jenkins?
Mr. HusBanp. If the British and French possessions in the West
Indies are not to be included in the proposed new quota zone, then the
quota of——-The
 CuarrmaN. If IT may inferrupt just a moment: I am obliged
to be in the other office. I think I will coin an epigram: A chairman
is a choreman. [Laughter.]
Mr. HusBanDp (continuing). The quota of the West Indies would
be changed from the figures that I have here and would be available
solely for Cuba, Haiti, and San Domingo so far as——
Mr. Scuneper. Their quota would increase?
Mr. Hussanp. Their quota would decrease, because some of the
citizens under consideration departed to Jamaica, the Bahamas, or
Bermuda, and, I take it, would be necessary to deduct them in computing
 a West Indies quota for independent countries alone.
Mr. ScuneiDER. Mr. Secretary, I would like to ask if your department
 can furnish the committee with the exact number of American
citizens that have departed for each of the respective countries in each
one of these four groups. so that we shall know where our people have
gone,
Mr. HussanD. I do not know to what extent this may be possible
but I will insert the ficures for the fiscal vear 1929 so far as available.

Native-horn and naturalized citizens of the United States departing to New World
countries for permanent residence in the fiscal year 1929

Mr. Scanemer. I would like to ask you further: Of the American
citizens who go to these countries for permanent residence, in your
estimation how many of them remain there any length of time—
six months or more?
