It should be pointed out also. with reference to resettlement of displaced persons. that many displaced persons have declined the opportunity to resettle in some of the receiving nations. Virtually all the displaced persons desire. as do millions of other Europeans. to leave Europe. Many desire to emigrate from Europe to the United States. This is nothing new. The desire to come to the United States existed long before the war. long before we ever heard the expression "displaced persons." For years. even prior to the war. the immigration quotas for some countries have been heavily oversubscribed. The Senate will recall that under the provisions of the Econoihic Cooperation Act of 1948. the Administrator is required to encourage arrangements among the participating countries in conjunction with the International Refugee Organization looking toward the largest practicable utilization of manpower available in any of the participating countries in furtherance of the accomplishment of the purposes of the act. Under the provisions of the act. the term "participating countries" includes dependent areas. Also. the act provides for guarantees in connection with certain projects fostered by private investors.
