In the last Congress. I was successful In obtaining to the displacedpersons legislation then pending an amendment providing that a token number of these persons of German ethnic origin might use part of the GermanAustrian quotas. That was section 12 of that act. What has happened? Under my amendment. the total number of visas which should have been available to these people under the GermanAustrian quotas is 12.000 a year. but. Mr. President. to date only a little over 300 visas have been issued to this group. Mr. President. all over North Dakota. South Dakota. Minnesota. Wisconsin. Montana. Idaho. and in many other States. there are thousands of citizens of the United States who are of German ethnic origin.
