Mr. President. if the Senator from Nevada will yield to me to reply to the Senator from Virginia. the sole purpose of changing the language of the bill. and the whole controversy here. is the same as that which caused all the controversy about the displacedpersons bill. There is an administrative decision. or whatever it may be called. affecting immigration. by which officials of the Service feel they are bound. I wish to say to my distinguished friend from Virginia that the one thing we were striving to do in the conference was to keep out some fellow who had been through 6 or 8 or 9 or 10 countries and complained that one country had refused to let him return. The whole idea was to take care of the person who was displaced in the country of his origin or the country to which he would normally return. I suggested to the Senator from Virginia that he bring this matter up at this time in order that in the debate we might indicate the legislative intent. which would govern the Immigration and Naturalization Service. and govern the Department of State. The purpose was to provide for such a case as I shall use as an illustration. A man may go from Poland into Sweden. and from Sweden into France. and from France into Spain. and from Spain into Portugal. and from Portugal to Cuba. and from Cuba he may desire to go to the United States as a displaced person.
