President. I offer an amendment to the amendment in the nature of a substitute. to amend the Displaced Persons Act of 1948. to provide that on page 13. between lines 23 and 24. there be inserted the followihg new section: SEC. -. The second sentence of section 10 of the Displaced Persons Act of 1948 is amended to read as follows: "The burden of proof shall be upon the person who seeks to establish his eligibility under this act. and no person shall be issued an immigration visa or be admitted into the United States under this act if the consular officer or the immigrant inspector knows or has reason to believe that the alien is subject to exclusion from the United Statesunder any provision of the immigration laws or is not eligible under the terms of this act: Provided. That nothing in this section shall remove the right of review and appeal available to aliens under general immigration laws." Mr. President. the subject has been discussed on the floor of the Senate. and I do not care at this time to discuss it again. except to say that the purpose of the amendment is to strike out the provision for security and to insure that these two services will perform all the functions under the immigration laws. I ask if there is any objection to my proposed amendment.
