Mr. Chairman. just before the teller vote we were discussing on page 34 our contributions to various international organizations. I stated that the appropriation for the International Refugee Organization last year was $70.000.000. This item appears before you today at approximately $25.000.000 for the next fiscal year due to the fact that the International Refugee Organization is liquidating. I wonder how many Members of the House know what the International Refugee Organization has been doing. how many displaced persons are presently in the camps in the various parts of Europe. who are being moved to other parts of the world. some of them coming to the United States. My purpose in taking up this matter at the present time is to state that I have been informed that an effort is being made to extend the International Refugee Organization program after the proposed liquidation date and that some legislation may be offered in either the House or Senate for its extension. We were assured by the American representatives of the International Refugee Organization that they were going to liquidate. that the camps are going to be closed and that no further appropriation would be needed for the International Refugee Organization after the fiscal year 1951.
