I think it would be well to say that these immigrants shall have the same housing accommodations that were available to the Puritans who came to Plymouth Rock. But the Puritans who came to Plymouth Rock found some habitation. and these pilgrims who come here. if they are permitted to come at all. will build their habitation. Oh. but it may be said. "We want to be sure that the people who come are responsible." Mr. President. we are all interested in that. And I may call attention to section 6 of the bill on page 7. as follows: No eligible displaced person shall be admitted into the United States unless there shall have first been a thorough Investigation and written report made and prepared by such agency of the Government of the United States as the President shall designate. regarding such persons character. history. and eligibility under this act.
