Now. in the quota in the House bill. I am going to go back to December 22. 1945. During that time the Immigration Department reports show that 450.000 Immigrants came to this country. Of those. 302.000 were Jews. Of the other 150.000 75.000 were on military missions. In the House bill you are not only giving this quota for the Jews. the reason for that is not to bring in displaced persons. it is to bring In a hundred thousand Russian Jews. those of the type you had on your heels last week. The reason you have this amount Is because on December 22. 1945. there were only 15.000 Jewish refugees in the camps. That is the total. because the other 300.000 already had come to America. .As far as Polish immigration is concerned. starting with the year 1940. there were only 568 Poles. in 1941. 391. in 1942. 304. in 1943. 361. in 1944. 272. and in 1945. 145. and in 1946. 289. Those are the records.
