No. The House would eliminate the provision in the present law permitting the entry of up to 2.000 refugees from Czechoslovakia. The committee amendment would restore provision for those 2.000 refugees. The committee amendment also contains a provision for 10.000 displaced Greeks now located in Greece. The House bill has no similar provision. The committee amendment restores the proviso contained in the present law. which is not found in the House bill. requring that 40 percent of the visas be issued to eligible displaced persons in the general category. namely. displaced persons in Germany. Austria. and Italy. whose place of origin or country of nationality has been de facto annexed by a foreign power. The committee retains this priority. because the displaced persons from those areas. namely. countries which have been taken over by Russia and her satellites. are the displaced persons for whom there is the least likelihood of repatriation.
