Prior to December 27. 1945. If they entered the camps prior to that date. they shall be entitled to the privileges and opportunities afforded by the 1948 act. The proposal which the Judiciary Committee is recommending to the Senate for action at the present time is that the cutoff date of December 27. 1945. shall be moved up to January 1. 1949. a difference of about 4 years. during which. for a variety of reasons. some persons through their own initiative and many other persons through encouragement and stimulation. have entered displacedpersons camps abroad in order that. rather than come to America through normal immigration channels. they may seek entry themselves by being defined as displaced persons. 3 and 4 years after the fighting war in Europe was concluded. thus discriminating against those who would come into this country in the normal way. Mr. President.
