                    Proc. No. 2696. Immigration Quota

    Proc. No. 2696, July 4, 1946, 11 F.R. 7517, 60 Stat. 1353, provided:
    The annual quota for the Philippine Islands effective July 4, 1946, 
for the remainder of the fiscal year ending June 30, 1947, and for each 
fiscal year thereafter, has been determined in accordance with the law 
to be, and shall be, 100.
    The immigration quota of 50 authorized by section 8(a)(1) of the Act 
approved March 24, 1934, entitled ``An Act to provide for the complete 
independence of the Philippine Islands, to provide for the adoption of a 
constitution and a form of government for the Philippine Islands, and 
for other purposes'' (48 Stat. 462; 53 Stat. 1230; section 1238 of Title 
48, Territories and Insular Possessions), which Act was accepted by 
concurrent resolution of the Philippine Legislature on May 1, 1934, and 
which became effective on that date, will become inoperative on July 4, 
1946, the date the Government of the United States recognizes the 
independence of the Philippine Islands as a separate and self-governing 
nation.
    The immigration quota assigned to the Philippine Islands is designed 
solely for purposes of compliance with the pertinent provisions of the 
Immigration Act of 1924 [section 145 et seq. of Title 8, Aliens and 
Nationality] and is not to be regarded as having any significance 
extraneous to this subject.
