The present law provides that no eligible displaced person shall be admitted into the United States unless there shall have first been a thorough investigation and written report made and prepared by such agency of the Government as the President shall designate regarding such persons character. history. and eligibility under the act. It was. of course. contemplated that the President would designate an investigative agency of the Government to make the investigation and prepare the report by the Displaced Persons Commission. but the Displaced Persons Commission was designated to make this investigation and report so that they would have at least a color of authority for operating in Europe. But the fact is that. notwithstanding the designation of the Displaced Persons Commission by the President to make the investigation and to prepare the report. most of the report is prepared by the International Refugee Organization and the investigation is made by the Counter Intelligence Corps. Mr. President. notwithstandln the provision of the law that no eligible displaced person shall be admitted Into the United States unless there shall have first been a thorough investigation and written report on the persons character. history. and eligibility. the Displaced Persons Commission which has. by this administrative agreement. taken over the functions of the Immigration Service and the American Foreign Service. has established a policy which they define as a calculated riskoh. how many times have we heard that expression?-whereby they do not wait for the report from the Berlin document center or from the provost marshals files before sending the displaced person to this country. It is as a result of that policy that we have been getting storm troopers into America. They do not wait for even a security check at the only place in Germany at which it could be found whether a man was a criminal. the Army military records. in which he might be recorded as a criminal.
