President. I hold in my hand a release issued by the Common Council for American Unity. previously mentioned. in which is set forth a definition. It is stated to have been that issued by the Visa Division of the Department of State. in which the Department of State said. in express terms: A displaced person in Germany or Austria is one who (a) has resided since December 22. 1945. in the zones of Germany .and Austria occupied by the armed forces of the United States. or in the British or Acrican sectors of Berlin and Vienna. and (b) is classifiable within one or more of the following categories: As I understand. the definition given by the Departmen t of State certainly indicates that it was addressing itself to the date December 22. 1945. as the date which was the cutoff in determining who were displaced persons. Let me say. in concluding this observation. that it seems to me that the Senator from New Jersey has touched upon the vital point very properly. although I disagrea with him in his conclusion. The primary question is whether or not the earlier date should be used in determinIng who shall be considered as eligible displaced persons.
