Recognizing this fact. the Committee on Foreign Affairs and the committee of conferees on H. R. 5113 in their report expressed the hopemore than that. they expressed the congressional intention that a part of the money which is provided for in this mutual security appropriation bill. $10.000.000. will be used for the purpose of attempting to organize an internationally concerted movement to resettle these people. Quite obviously. the United States cannot admit and support any appreciable number of immigrants. In that connection. I might say that the Subcommittee on Immigration and Naturalization is not willing to increase the quotas for aliens coming to the United States. However. we do recognize the fact that steps must be taken. and must be taken promptly to aid the immigrantreceiving and the emigration countries. in providing homes and jobs for these people where they are needed. Conferences have been held looking toward the erection of an International. intergovernmental organization. outside of the United Nations. composed of and administered solely by interested countries. We do not feel that the International Labor Organization. for example. has any concern with this problem. largely because it is a big. unwieldy organization of 64 nations. plus the fact that in that organization there are representatives of 5 ironcurtain countries.
