Mr. Chairman. I move to strike out the last word. Mr. Chairman. this bill includes $9.240.500. the amount of the budget estimate for this program. that is. the movement of migrants. The intent of the act is to facilitate the movement of surplus manpower from certain countries of Europe to other countries where such manpower can be utilized. The program for 1953 calls for the movement of 140.000 migrants as compared with the planned movement of 137.500 in 1942. Mr. Chairman. I rise at this time to pay tribute to the gentleman who now occupies the chair at the moment. because it is the gentleman from Pennsylvania . who was chairman of the House Judiciary Committee which considered this particular matter in Brussels last fall. and it was he and his committee who were responsible for working out an arrangement whereby the surplus manpower from certain European countries was given the opportunity under the leadership of this organization to migrate to other parts of the world where they were needed and where there was opportunity for them.
