What is in the gentlemans affidavit is already in the requirements of the immigration statutes which are applicable. Further. how could a displaced person by any stretch of the imagination be a member of an organization that is on the Attorney Generals subversive list? These DPs have not been In the United States. They could not possibly physically be affiliated with or remotely connected with any of these organizations that are on the subversive list as promulgated by the Attorney General. If the displaced person in the affidavits now required or in the applications that are now required makes a false statement. he can be prosecuted for perjury when his crime is discovered and can be sent out of the country. The United States still has jurisdiction over him and he can be deported. I do not see that anything Is vitally added to the bill by the amendment. but I do see that it imposes additional difficulties on the Displaced Persons Commission in their processing of the applications.
