Subject: Public information release plans for United States program reduction. Without taking the Senators time. I may say this long memorandum contains a r~sum6 of facts. namely. that when Congress adjourned last year without amending the Displaced Persons Act. the International Refugee Organization had thrown upon it the burden of beginning to process agricultural displaced persons. as it should have done under the law. but which it had failed to do. selecting only such displaced persons as they wanted. without regard to the law of the United States. and that when the displacedpersons bill was amended during the last session. they were then up against it. because they were away behind in their agricultural quotas. That is the gist of the memorandum. For the Senators information. let me read the salient points: (1) At a meeting between the Displaced Persons Commission and public information officers this afternoon. the following plans were agreed to for the release of information about the production of United States shipping. visaing. etc.. during the coming months. (a) On or about the 20th day of December. a straightfaced announcement to be made on shipping schedule planned for the month of January. (b) On the 24th day of December.
