Legally. I think the Senator is entirely correct. I think when Congress passed the act. the Immigration Bureau or the Visa Division of the State Department could veto for fraud. under the classification of a displaced person. or for any purpose under the immigration laws. or under the Displaced Persons Act. I think that is true. But that is not the way the law is being administered. The question raised by the Senator represents a distinction without a difference. The Immigration Bureau cannot go behind the findings of the Displaced Persons Commission or of the IRO. Mr. LHeureux says it is best that we give them the authority. and the amendment is written into the committee bill.
