This relates to the questions of the Senator from Colorado who. I think. is quite correct in wanting as much material and information as he can secure. Will the Senator from Michigan be so kind as to permit me to insert in the RECORD the language in the law which gives the priority to which the Senator refers? I read from section 7 of Public Law 774. the Displaced Persons Act of 1948: Within the preferences provided in section 6And I interpolate that that includes agricultural preference and other preferencesWithin the preferences provided in section 6. priority in the issuance of visas shall be given first to eligible displaced persons who during World War II bore arms against the enemies of the United States and are unable or unwilling to return to the countries of which they are nationals because of persecution or fear of persecution on account of race. religion. or political opinions and. second. to eligible displaced persons who. on January 1. 1948. were located in displaced persons camps and centers. but in exceptional cases visas may be issued to those eligible displaced persons located outside of displaced persons camps and centers upon a showing. in accordance with the regulations of the Commission. of special circumstances which would justify such issuance. Is that the provision to which the Senator from Michigan referred in his answer to the Senator from Colorado?
