John Q. Taxpayer is in the hole to the extent of $25.431.100. The distinguished gentleman from Virginia made mention here today of the fact that it has cost over $600.000 to date to bring in six refugees. It is indeed an unfortunate situation when. although the authorizing law was enacted on the 7th of August of last year. and although at that time the Eisenhower administration was given an appropriation of $3 million. only six refugees have been brought in to date. Our consulates abroad. and in particular those in Italy. have lists of prospective immigrants in five figures. in tens and twenties and fifty thousands. who have been carefully interviewed and checked and looked up and down and backwards with regard to their entry as prospective decent citizens into the United States. But it seems that only good and deserving Republicans may go abroad to screen those already screened by the consulates and the Foreign Service. They dont want experienced personnel.
