Mr. President. in answer to the statement of my distinguished friend that people who do not intend to become citizens of the United States will come here under visas as students. and in answer to the statement regarding subterfuge. I have this to say: Under this .particular amendment it is up to the State Department to say whether or not these people meet the requirement that they must be refugees. they must be displaced persons. they must have a place to which they can return. and they must have come here because they were driven out of their respective countries. In other words. a displaced person. under this particular amendment. is defined no differently than a displaced person under any other provision of the bill. That would mean that probably a student would not be admitted under this particular amendment unless he could demonstrate that he was a bona fide student. and he intended to pursue his studies in the United States. and it was apparent that his political views and political .convictions made it impossible for him to go home.
