They come in under IRO screening. and that is no screening at all. Mr. President. when we provided by the 1948 act that displaced persons were to enter this Nation under the supervision and screening of the immigration officials of the United States Government. we meant what we said. But that was set aside. I am sorry to say. It was set aside- by an order of the President of the United States. and the matter was placed in the hands of the Displaced Persons Commission. The immigration authorities have been entirely hampered in the performance of their functions and duties to see to it that the law was properly executed. that those people were properly screened. and that this Government was properly protected. If that had been done we should not be having the trouble we are having at the present time. We should not have the charges of falsification. pressure. blackmarketing. and all kinds of crime which have been placed in the recordsof the Judiciary Committee of the Senate.
