I should like to read it to the Senate before I send it to the desk and ask that it be printed and lie on the table. In the substitute it is proposed to insert between lines 23 and 24. on page 13. a new section. to be given the proper number. which would read as follows: The second sentence of section 10 of the Displaced Persons Act of 1948 is amended to read as follows: "The burden of proof shall be upon the person who seeks to establish his eligibility under this actThat is already in the act. Then the amendment continuesand no person shall be Issued an immigration visa or be admitted into the United States under this act if the consular officer or the immigrant inspector knows or has reason to believe that the alien is subject to exclusion from the United States under any provision of the immigration laws or is not eligible under the terms of this act: Provided. That nothing in this section shall remove the right of review and appeal available to aliens under general immigration laws." In other words. it would allow each one of the services. the Displaced Persons Commission. the Consular Service. which is .under the Secretary of State. and the Immigration Inspection Service. which is under the Department of Justice. to perform their respective functions as officers under the law. Does * not the Senator from Kentucky feel that it would solve the entire problem of administration?
