I am exceedingly sorry that the junior Senator from New York has chosen to call the committee bill deceptive. If there is deception. let us look at another provision of the substitute. The present law and the committee bill allocate 2.000 visas to the Czech refugees. The substitute. on page 3. embraces the Czech refugees in the definition of eligible displaced persons. but beginning on page 5 of the substitute. which provides for the allocation of visas. no specific allocation is made of any visas to the Czech refugees. Mr. President. since the substitute does not provide for the allocation of visas to the Czech refugees. why is it that the substitute defines them as a specific category of displaced persons? The answer is obvious. Their numbers will be diluted with the other applicants in the general displaced persons category.
