We would thus be fooling the German ethnics into believing that many more of them may come into the country than the provisions of the committee amendment really permit. For instance. the committee bill will authorize the admission of 330.000 persons. Of this number. 290.000 visas are available jointly for IRO DPs and expellees. 40.000 for other persons. plus 54.744 for expellees. Thus while the present law authorizes 2C5.000 visas for IRO DPs alone and the House bill approves 302.000. the committee bill. in fact. cuts back the number of IRO DPs below even the present law. Thus cutback comes by diluting the totalnumber of visas available to IRO DPs by including expellees in the total number. The Kilgore substitute specifically admits the 54.744 German ethnics and gives them the same travel allowance as DPs. On the other hand. the committee amendment admits the 54.744 expellees and at the same time dilutes the Ds with the balance of approximately 8.000.000 German ethnics but gives no travel allowance to the 54.744.
