The purpose of the amendment is to give the President power which he can use to help persuade other nations to do their share in solving the refugee problem. and also power which he may use in the interest of the United States. if it becomes evident that other immigrantreceiving nations of the world will have no part of the program. I am certain the Senator from Utah will be glad to accept the amendment. because it is exactly in line with what the Senator from Illinois was just discussing. If the President were to sit at a conference table with representatives from Argentina and Brazil and other nations. he could say. "You must do your full share." If they did not do their full share. he would have the power to curtail. limit. or stop the program. Recently we haVe had an experience under the Displaced Persons Act. What happened? Do Senators know that ours was the only nation which did not have enough interest in its security to send American screening teams to Europe to screen the refugees coming to our country from foreign lands? Brazil took refugees. .Canada took refugees. England and other nations took them. But what did they do? They sent representatives from their own countries to examine and screen the refugees. They accepted only those who would help and benefit their respective countries. * What did we do? We turned our whole problem over to the International Refugee Organization. an organization which was shot through and through with Communists. We received people into this country on the basis of false passports. false affidavits. and false papers. God only knows how many subversives.
