I draw the Senators attention to page 13 of the conference report. under the head of "Statement of the managers on the part of the Senate." Page 13. subdivision (6). is as follows: (6) Four thousand visas are authorized to be Issued during a period ending June 30. 1951. to certain aliens who resided in China as displaced persons or refugees on July 1. 1918. or on the effective date of the amendment. and who have not subsequently been received for permanent residence by any other country other than the United States. The Displaced Persons Act of 1948 did not embrace this class of aliens. The bill as it passed the House of Representatives and as it passed the Senate provided for the issuance of 4.00 visas to this class of aliens. The conferees agreed to retain in the act the provision originating in the Senate which limits the class to those who have not subsequently been received for permanent residence by any country other than the United States.
