It is generally accepted that the wrongs of that bill should be righted and despite the denials made on the floor and elsewhere I maintain that that bill contains some very invidious discriminations. geographic discriminations. occupational discriminations. racialreligious discriminations and particularly a calendar discrimination that relief is imperative. Because the cutoff date. for example. was set at December 22. 1945. only a few months after the shooting stopped. great injustice was done. The International Refugee Organization and General Clay are of the opinion that the cutoff date should be as of the date when the camps were closed officially. namely. April 21. 1947. That earlier cutoff date shuts off many. many deserving DPs.
