It is the chairman of one of the great standing committees of the United States Senate. the senior Senator from Nevada. He continues: and that Intelligent and prudent action can be taken before the expiration of the existing law. The Senator from Nevada is saying. among other things. "If the Senate wants to take action and change or amend the Displaced Persons Act of 1948. there will be. in the name of common sense and reason and fact. sufficient time in the next session to make the changes." The Senator from Nevada in the cablegram he sent. as I recall. to the Senator from Maryland . continued: I respectfully request you to obtain unanimous consent for extension of my permission to be absent from the Senate for another 3 weeks. as I must confer with International Refugee Organization officials in Geneva. Switzerland. and will investigate the displaced persons situation in Austria and Italy. If we pass the House version of the DP bill as it is now before the Judiciary Committee. It would be a serious mistake. Mr. President. apparently that is not merely the feeling of the senior Senator from Nevada. because he adds that it would be a serious mistake to pass the bill which the committee reported yesterday as being the expression of the Displaced Persons Commission and of officials of the consular service and the Immigration and Naturalization Service of the United States. The Senator from Nevada said further: I cannot get back in time and conclude my Investigation because it covers such a wide field. That is the end of the cablegram of the Senator from Nevada.
