The Asia Pacific quota plan fixes a one sixth of one percent rate for many countries including Afghanistan and Japan with Japan at 185, others at 100.

Immigration Bill Aims to End A Asian Bar on Entry
The House passed the Judd bill to end the ban on immigration and naturalization for Asians, eliminating race as a factor. If enacted, it would complete a shift in U S policy toward the Asia Pacific region, opening entry to Japanese, Koreans, and Polynesians. The Senate has not yet acted, with no action reported by the Judiciary subcommittee.
