Mr. Speaker. today I have introduced a bill to permit admission to the United States of our fair share of displaced persons. provided they meet the standards under the immigration laws. This bill seeks to give those unfortunate people. uprooted by war and unable to return home for fear of persecution. a chance to lead decent. useful lives as free men and women. At the same time. the bill would result In the saving of millions of dollars now spent in maintaining displaced persons camps. Offering these people opportunity would be totally in keeping with the tradition of our Nation which was founded by immigrants and always has profited by their contributions.
