John F. Kennedy claimed that the system that preceded this act "neither satisfies a national need nor accomplishes an international purpose."  One of the Representatives who proposed this bill had proposed a bill with Clare Booth Luce nineteen years earlier that created a quota for Filipinos and Indians. This act prioritized relatives of permanent residents, as well as scientists and skilled laborers. President Lyndon B. Johnson claimed this act "is not a revolutionary bill. It does not affect the lives of millionsÂ….It will not reshape the structure of our daily lives or add importantly to either our wealth or our power" and he symbolically signed it at the foot of the (*) Statue of Liberty. Ted Kennedy supported this act, which was proposed by Philip Hart and Emanuel Celler. For 10 points, name this act which set a restriction of 170,000 visas per year and which abolished nation of origin quotas for immigration.
