It is an obligation we must honor today. Mr. President. we are all concerned today with the mounting cost of government. and with the heavy tax burden under which we labor. Yet we have been and are continuing to help support these individuals in the displacedpersons camps. in the various bivouacs and quarters where they are now located. through our contributions to the International Refugee Organization. The United States has been contributing about 60 percent of the budget of this organization. Between July 1. 1947. and June 30. 1950. the IRO will have spent over $300.500.000 in carrying out its mission.
