Speech #810188594

Did not the Senator from Mississippi say. to be perfectly frank and fair. that the consular service and the Immigration Service had the power to veto the application of a subversive. but that they did not have the facilities at hand with which to investigate the large number of people making application. and that they were bound by a file sent to them. a file which originated in IRO. a file made up largely by displaced persons. and that It went down the line to the consul. and that he was bound largely by the information contained in the file? On that point. the Senator from New York certainly remembers. if he desires to be fair. that the Senator from Mississippi placed in the RECORD the order or regulation promulgated by the Displaced Persons Commission. which gave that power. I placed it in the RECORD yesterday. or the day before. If there is a misstatement. it is bound to be based on the order I placed in the RECORD.
