Though the present law provides for a cutoff date of December 22. 1945. the displacedpersons camps were not closed to new arrivals. except to hardship cases. until April 21. 1947. By April 21. 1947. a complete register had been made of all displaced persons who had been admitted into the camps up to that date. The International Refugee Organization. to which the United States belongs and which has twentyoddmember nations. has estimated that by June 30 of this year all of the war displaced persons in the displacedpersons camps will be resettled except the socalled hard core who cannot be resettled because of physical. social. or moral disqualifications. My amendment will extend the present eligibility cutoff date from December 22. 1945. to April 21. 1947. When the present displacedpersons law was debated in 1948 the main and chief question was whether the cutoff date should be December 22. 1945. or April 21. 1947.
