The next point which has been made against the bill is that the Displaced Persons Commission has ignored the law which provides a priority for persons in camps. This is in answer to the question of the Senator from Colorado who wanted to know about the preference for persons in camps. The figures have been read into the RECORD. As of September 15. 1949. 88 percent of persons receiving visas under the law were issued visas under the incamp priority. That figure does not represent the whole number. because under the very peculiar way in which the law is written there can be no priority for incamp displaced persons unless there is a preference. Eightyeight percent Is a minimum figure.
