My distinguished chairman probably left the impression in the House that the Jewish group had been discriminated against. That is far from true. Under the Presidents Executive order. issued December 22. 1945. relative to displaced persons. and under which we operated for almost 2 years. 75 percent of all visas issued at that time were for persons of the Jewish faith. Although there was a lot of contention made about last years bill being discriminatory against Jewish persons. the facts are admitted here by our distinguished chairman himself that while only 20 percent of those in the camps were Jewish when .the bill was passed last year. more than 30 percent of those who came in under the bill were persons of Jewish faith. So neither the Jewish nor Catholic groups have been discriminated against in any of this legislation whatsoever.
