Speech #810210062

R. 4567. an act to amend the Displaced Persons Act of 1948. In its present form this bill is disappointing. I had hoped that we might have before us a piece of progressive legislation which. by enabling us to solve this problem once and for all. would have removed from the already sagging shoulders of American taxpayers the tremendous financial burden incurred by our participation in the International Refugee Organization. Instead we have before us a bill which will not only fail to accomplish this objective. but will also make virtually impossible any solution of the problem in the foreseeable future. On its face. the pending bill may appear to be an improvement over the existing law.
