Mr. Chairman. my pro forma amendment will not require any additional money. I simply rise to ask the chairman of the Subcommittee on Appropriations if he knows of any group within the Department of Labor that is trying to screen the refugee workers. for instance the Hungarians who came into this country. to see that they are not put into industry thereby putting our established workers out of work. I know of a number of cases like that in the State of Massachusetts where workers have been employed for a long time in industry. then they are turned out into the streets and Hungarians. who do not speak our language. are put in their places. In other words. we are making refugees of our own workers. It seems to me these people should be placed in sections of the country where labor is needed and not to replace our own people.
