Speech #810153386

President. let us consider some of the other provisions of the present law which are alleged to be discriminatory and which the Celler bill would strike from the statutes. The present law provides a 30percent priority to displaced persons who are agriculturists and their families. The chairman of the Displaced Persons Commission on March 25. 1949. testified before our subcommittee that 25 to 26 percent of the heads of the families in the displacedpersons group are agriculturists and that displaced persons average 2.2 persons per family. According to a bulletin of the International Refugee Organization dated January 1949. 25.1 percent of the employable men in the displacedpersons category were of the agricultural occupation. It will thus be seen. Mr.
