I hope the amendment offered by the gentleman from North Carolina will be defeated. This particular matter has been very carefully gone into by the Committee on Foreign Affairs. I know something of the history of it and I know that the provisions of the bill. with equality of consideration in relation to the refugees. the Jews and the Arabs. have been given very profound consideration. not only by the committee but by responsible officials outside of the committee and by responsible Members of the House on both sides of the aisle who are not members of the Committee on Foreign Affairs. I know that because I had considerable to do in connection with some of the aspects of the bill which brought about the resolution that the committee agreed upon and as expressed by the committee in the provisions under consideration. We must realize that the Near East. as the gentleman from Minnesota said. is a very dangerous spot.
