I thank the Senator. My next question is this: Does the Senatorand his committee. I assume. when I ask this question--recognize that there are two distinct phases to this problem of the displaced persons: First. a proper checkup on our immigrational laws. as the Senator has suggested. in order to see that undesirable aliens are kept out of the United States. and. secondand this is the phase I want to emphasize. I think it is the important one in this emergency we are facinghow we can cooperate with other nations of the world. through the United Nations. to solve the resettlement problem of displaced persons in the various countries of the world. and. in particular. what percentage the United States should be willing to admit in connection with such settlement in proportion to the percentage which other nations would admit? Or does the Senator simply take the position that we are not committed by implication or otherwise to admit anyone?
