Furthermore. I may say to the Senator from Utah that undoubtedly there are a number of what might be called underemployed. The fact that this condition exists Is not because of the immigration legislation or because of the failure of the immigration legislation. The Senator from New York is simply saying that there are some specific needs which are not being met. For example. to be specific. there is a need for nurses in hospitals. I have had requests from my own State for additional entrants of nonquota immigrants for the purpose of attending to hospitals operated by some of the religious orders. but such persons cannot enter th. United States. There is no room for them under the immigration laws. This is what the Senator from New York is saying. He is saying there may be a need for some specific persons of unusual skill. Surely they can be admitted. That is a very definite possibility. What is more. an attempt has been made. under the Refugee Act. to alleviate some of the problems in Germany. I want the record to be clear that regulations were not even promulgated to carry out the Refugee Act until December of 1953. despite the passage of the act in August. Eliminate all the other countries for a moment. so far as the problem of expellees. economic refugees. and political refugees is concerned. The problem in Germany is acute. Believe me. there is no finer citizen to be found than a German citizen.
