Mr. President. there is no desire to press for action on the International Refugee Organization matter without having the fullest information available to the Senate. The Senator from West Virginia has referred particularly to the immigration problem. He has an amendment pending. and if it does not cover the subject. that will be his fault. not mine. We shall accept his amendment. There is no thought of extending the International Refugee Organizations authority into our immigration laws in any aspect. The delay for the last few weeks has been solely because of an effort on the part of a number of very earnest lawyers to agree upon language which Is so airtight that there can be no possibility of invasion of the immigration laws by means of the measure we are asked to pass. Inasmuch as the Senator from West Virginia Is one of the authors of the saving clause which has been offered. I assume It can be depended upon as a totally successful saving clause. and I support It heartily.
