There was a fine group of children who were attending the schools which had been set up for the education of the children. I may later wish to modify the amendment which I offered this morning. in order that we may be sure that these people on the Island of Samar have some consideration. The amendment reads as follows: On page 4. line 21. immediately after the word "resettled". insert a semicolon and the following: "or (5) on July 1. 1948 or on the effective date of this act. as amended. resided in China as a displaced person or refugee. as defined in annex I (except par. 1 (b) of sec. A of pt. I thereof) of the constitution of the International Refugee Organization." On page 10. lines 8 and 9. strike out the words "three hundred and twenty thousand" and insert in lieu thereof the words "three hundred and twentyfour thousand." On page 10. line 24. immediately following the word "Act". insert a semicolon and the following: "and (5) not more than four thousand visas shall be issued to eligible displaced persons who are eligible displaced persons as defined in subsection (b) (5) of section 2 of this act." The amendment on page 10. lines 8 and 9. is designed to take care of the approximately 4.000 White Russians who are still in the Philippines. in the temporary camp. Mr. President.
