share with me a desire to make the refugee relief work. I have no doubt of that whatsoever. While the Watkins bill. in its present form. would certainly improve the act. it would not do the job altogether. There are several provisions recommended by the President. howeverand one especiallywhich are not included in my bill and which I think are very good indeed. I will mention one of these provisions particularly at this point. I refer to section 3 of the Watkins bill. which amends section 4 of the Refugee Relief Act by authorizing the admission of up to 1.000 aliens who are members of family units eligible to enter the United States under the Refugee Relief Act but who would otherwise be prevented from entering on account of tuberculosis. I think this feature of the Watkins bill is an excellent. a very humane and forwardlooking one. If my bill is reported out by this committee.
