Mr. President. what I said yesterday. and what I have said foday. which I am quite confident the that on matters of eligibility or cutoff date the findings of the Displaced Persons Commission are final. that matters under the general immigration law. whether a person qualifies under the immigration law or not. can be vetoed by the Immigration Service. I said yesterday and I have said today. and I am absolutely sure the RECORD will bear me out. that when the consular service or the Immigration Service have information which leads them to believe a man has come fraudulently into the zones he is not eligible to come into. that that file goes back to the Displaced Persons Commission. but that the decision of the Displaced Persons Commission is final. that it cannot be overruled by the consul and cannot be overruled by the immigration officials. For that reason we placed in the bill the provision that the Displaced Persons Commission could be overruled by the consular service. I emphasize what I said yesterday. and what I have said today. which the RECORD will certainly verify. that that is the system which is used. Yesterday I placed in the RECORD the rule promulgated by the Displaced Persons Commission. and I shall read it again: The report shall be deemed to establish prima facie the applicants history and eligibility under the act and shall be deemed to establish as conclusive"As conclusive." Mr. Presidentthe existence of all factors relating to eligibility to enter the United States. except existence of those factors required in applicable immigration laws other than the act.
