Why the justification for laying down in the bill itself an absolute requirement that 50 percent of the persons to be benefited shall come from a minoritypopulation area. so far as displaced persons are concerned? In the second place. Mr. President. I have the figure from the International -Refugee Organization that from the Baltic countries they have in their custody and care 136.919. from the three countries of Estonia. Latvia. and Lithuania. whereas they have in their custody from all countries displaced Jews to the number of 170.748. One hundred and seventy thousand Jews. one hundred and thirtysix thousand Balts. yet we give 50 percent of the available quota to the Baits.
