Mr. President. I have been officially advised by the State Department that the American representative on the Intergovernmental Committee on Refugees has been instructed to actively favor the adoption of Nansen passports. or their equivalent. for the benefit of displaced persons or socalled stateless persons in the former war areas. I am very glad that the State Department has taken this step. I hope the effort may succeed. Congresswoman LUCE in the House and I. in the Senate. initiated congressional resolutions to this end early this year. After World War I socalled Nansen passports were issued under authority of the League of Nations.
