There is nothing in the proposaland it was repeatedly so stated in the hearings by representatives of the State Departmentwhich in any aspect makes any commitment of any nature whatsoever in respect to our receipt of displaced persons. But in order to make that unequivocally clear. the committee undertook to write an amendment on the subject. and it was at that point that I ran into lawyer trouble. The committee said to the Senator from Wisconsin the distinguished chairman of the Committee on the Judiciary. that if he would be good enough to put in black and white an amendment which would close the door to any such possible immigration latitudes as are suggested by the question of the able Senator from Tennessee. the committee would be glad to adopt it. because It Is perfectly clear that that Is what is intended. So the able Senator from Wisconsin. in collaboration with some of his distinguished colleagues. including my able friend from West Virginia [Mr. RvERCOMBi. and my distinguished colleague the junior Senator from Michigan submitted a text which they thought slammed the door and locked it and threw the key away.
