Leaving Frankfurt. I proceeded to Geneva. Switzerland.. where I conferred with the director general of the International Refugee Organization. and a number of his Assistants. as well as with officials of the consular service. From Switzerland I went to Italy where I conferred with consular officials in Milan. Florence. Rome. and Naples. From Rome I went south to Naples where most of the displaced persons are concentrated. and went through a number of the camps and resettlement centers in and about the Naples area. I think it may be interesting to some Senators if I outline the steps which a displaced person must take in order to qualify as an immigrant to the United States under the act of 1948. Senators well know that the act contains a cutoff date of December 22. 1945. In other words. a displaced person. in order to qualify. must have been in one of the occupied zones of Germany. or in Austria. or in Italy. on or before December 22. 1945.
