I rise in opposition to the amendment. Mr. Chairman. if we adopt this amendment we make our solemn action dependent upon a resolution of some foreign body. the International Refugee Organization. because this amendment states that the bill shall not be effective unless the International Refugee OrganIzation passes a resolution determining what countries shall take displaced persons. the fair number of displaced persons. and the place of resettlement of displaced persons. Who shall be the judge of what is a fair number? The country of resettlement? The type of refugee? We have lost authority if we say that the International Refugee Organization shall be the determining factor. shall be the judge as to all these important factors. Also is it constitutional for one action to depend upon the will of some other body? I doubt it.
