President. if the Senate adopts January 1. 1949. as an eligibility cutoff date. it will be necessary to reopen every displacedpersons camp in Europe. and they have been closed to further admissiong since April of 1947. and scores of new camps will be required. No Senator has said how many additional camps will be required. how much it will cost to maintain and operate them. or where this money is coming from. If a million political refugees and expellees arrived in Germany and Austria between April of 1947 and January of 1949. each one of them will be as much entitled to admission into a displacedpersons camp as will any of them. We ought to understand this fact before adopting the January 1949 cutoff date. In support of my recommended eligibility cutoff date of April 21. 1947.
