April 21. 1947. we must understand that those 335 camps will be completely filled again. and perhaps.it will be necessary for the United States to subsidize the construction and establishment of a score of. additional camps. But if we accept the substitute bill recommendation of January 1. 1949. we must be completely satisfied and aware that the equipment and facilities we presently have in Europe are not nearly sufficient to take care of our coming obligations overseas. I want to say that prior to the recently recommended eligibility cutoff date of January 1. 1949. not a single Senator on either side of the aisle in the past ever recommended a cutoff date beyond April 21. 1947. and the International Refugee Organization. largely subsidized and strongly supported by the United States. cut off admission to these camps abroad. 335 in number. on April 21. 1947. the very date that I am offering for further consideration by this group of thoughtful men. We ought to bear in mind that three long years have passed during which not a single individual has been permitted. except in a. few hardship cases. to enter the 335 camps. The date of January 1. 1949. if agreed to will reopen all of the camps. and will result in the building of many more camps than we presently have.
