I think I understand the point of view of the Senator from West Virginia. and certainly with his overall. ultimate objective the junior Senator from Oregon is not in disagreement. I think our disagreement is by way of the procedure we are to adopt. rather than the accomplishment of the overall objective. Mr. President. on page 4. lines 10 to 14 of the bill. which this amendment proposes to change. provides that 50 percent of visas issued shall be made available to eligible displaced persons whose place of origin or country of nationality has been annexed by a foreign power. This provision is an administratively difficult restriction upon eligibility. Annexed is evidently meant to cover. in the main. the Baltic States and former Poland east of the Curzon line.
