As the Senator from Minnesota has pointed out. only 7. 8. or 9 persons have been admitted. not 1.000. not 2.000. not 15.000. not 60.000. as it had been hoped would be admitted. As the Senator has pointed out. there are many difficulties. and among them is the fact that the regulations were not prepared and issued until very recently. Then. when they were issued. they were so harsh and so technical in character that I can assure the Senator that very few immigrants will be able to enter within any measurable time. In many cases. the regulations are enmeshed in the evils and the prohibitions of the McCarranWalter Act. and until those difficulties are ironed out. as they must be ironed out. it will never be possible to have the temporary or emergency refugee act work to the extent that it was hoped it would operate. But certainly it could work 10 times. yes 100 times. more rapidly than it has so far. if there were a will to make it work. There has been no will. there has been no determination.
