These people have remained in exile. some of them for 13 years. tossed around from camp to camp. sometimes hunted and hounded by the Nazis. never with a passport. never able to rest their heads. earn their living. or raise their families in security and decency. This type of political martyrdom is proof of the remarkable quality of the Spanish patriot. Under the eligibility criteria as defined in the constitution of the International Refugee Organization. there were as of December 31. 1949. approximately 35.000 Spanish refugees classified as bona fide displaced persons. -Apart from these. of course. there remain some 160.000 who are not considered to be the concern of the International Refugee Organization. Mr. President. the purpose of the amendment which I have submitted to the present substitute. is that the 35.000 eligible Spanish displaced persons may be specifically included in the measure.
