I stated that any amendment that could be or would be offered which would strengthen the bill would be accepted by the committee. The bill Itself is very clear. We have stayed here for hours trying to pass a bill to help the refugee children of the war stricken countries. What you have done now is to destroy the bill. It is impossible for this bill to become properly operative according to the amendment offered by the gentleman from Wisconsin and just adopted in the Committee. The amendment offered by the gentleman from New York is at the present time already in the existing law. Either you want to pass a bill to permit American vessels to assist in the evacuation from war zones of refugee children or you do not. I have heard 99 percent of the speakers on the floor today say that they are in favor of it. All are in favor of it.
