Let me call attention to what the law is. and this section of existing law is not changed by the amendment: SEc. 10. 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. Then we add section 13 which reads: No visas shall be issued under the provisions of this act. as amended. to any person who is or has been a member of or participated In. any movementAnd so forth. Under the amendment offered by the gentleman from West Virginia. the judgment of the IRO would be substituted for that of the FBI and the State Department. It seems to me that we ought to be unwilling to give to the IRO any more authority in this matter than it already has.
