The number of IRO displaced persons in China is the same under the House bill and under the Kilgore bill. but there is no provision for them in the McCarran bill. As to the displaced persons outside Germany. Austria. and Italy. 50 percent of the nonpreference portion of annual quotas is made available to them under the House bill and the Kilgore bill. but there is no such provision in the McCarran bill. With reference to German ethnics. we find the number to be admitted as immigrants under German or German plus Austrian quotas is identical in each of the three bills. That number is 54.744. A difference exists. however. in that there is under the Kilgore bill a provision to give overseas transportation to such persons.
