I was not then. nor am I now. alone in that conviction. During my investigation in Europe. I was repeatedly told by officials of the Immigration and Naturalization Service. officials of the Consular Service. officials of the European command of the United States Army. and even officials of the Displaced Persons Commission. that the socalled Celler bill should be amended in numerous particulars. and that It would be a mistake to pass the bill as passed by the House of Representatives. I conveyed this information by cable to a number of Senators. A majority of the Senate evidently concurred in the view that hasty action might be a serious mistake. and voted to recommit the bill to the committee for further study and consideration. with instructions to bring the bill back by January 25.
