The gentleman is right. If the bill becomes a law. our ships will not go into danger zones unless all warring nations agree to grant safe conduct to such ships which go to evacuate these refugee children. If a nation refuses to grant such safe conduct. the responsibility is theirs. not ours. but in the passage of this bill we will at least have made an effort to save the lives of some of these innocent children who are about to be slaughtered. Let me for a moment discuss the question raised by my good friend. and a member of the committee. the gentleman from Ohio [Mr. VORYSI. with reference to whether or not the President now has this power and whether or not legislation is required. He is a good lawyer and entitled to his opinion. but I differ with the gentleman. Earlier in the debate the gentleman from New York asked my opinion on this question. to which I replied in my opinion the President did not have the power to modify the dangerzone provisions of the neutrality law so as to permit mercy ships to go in to rescue refugee children. I have since carefully studied the law and am positive he does not have such power.
