President. the bill reported by the committee sets up stronger safeguards and better screening processes than does the substitute. It was never intended that the Displaced Persons Commission should operate in Europe. The Displaced Persons Act of 1948 is specific in providing that the administration of the act shall be vested In the immigration authorities already operating In Europe. As I said a while ago. I do not think the immigration authorities are to blame. for the reason that they are not sufficiently staffed to do this work. The amount of work to be done Is immense. I have been reliably informed that the staff of the Immigration authorities is not sufficient to permit them to undertake the task. even if they have the authority.
