Speech #810154641

Yesterday it was pointed out that within the pr6ferences provided by section 6 of the 1948 act there is one to the effect that priority shall be given. first. to eligible displaced persons who during World War II bore arms against the enemies of the United States. and so forth. and. second. to eligible displaced persons who on January 1. 1948. were located in displacedpersons camps and centers. The Celler bill would remove that priority for persons who were located in displacedpersons camps and centers. Certainly the existing law is not unfair to persons who were beyond and outside the camps. because section 7 provides that "in exceptional cases visas may be issued to those eligible displaced persons located outside of displacedpersons camps and centers upon a showing. in accordance with the regulations of the Commission. of special circumstances which would justify such issuance."
