I have been very glad to agree that this subject be taken up tomorrow. I wish to say that insofar as the joint resolution Itself is concerned. there Is printed and lying on the desk at this time an amendment which has been offered by the Senator from Nevada . the Senator from Rhode Island . and myself. and it has come from the Judiciary Committee. So far as the joint resolution is concerned. while it may be agreed that there Is no controversy about it. yet I do not wish a misunderstanding to arise or to have anyone labor under the misapprehension that we are not going to discuss very fully on the floor of the Senate. when this matter comes up. the provisions of the socalled constitution of the International Refugee Organization. I think there should be a very full disclosure of its contents. I feel. with the Senator from Nebraska . that it contains provisions. the meaning of which we should know before we consent to it and bind this country to it. My principal interest has been. as a member of the Judiciary Committee and of its subcommittee on immigration. to see to it that nothing that is contained in the joint resolution. if it is passed. will result in the surrender of congressional control over immigration into the United States. The refugee problem is a serious one for the entire world. as well as for the United States. but at the same time we want no action takenat least. that is my viewpointwhich would permit anyone to make an agreement with this organization under which persons could enter the United States contrary to our immigration laws. So. Mr.
