That is a problem we have been dealing with for a long period of time. The voluntary agencies in this country seem to think there are upwards of a hundred thousand emigrable refugees in the world. Our best estimates which come through the personal work of the gentleman from California and the work of the gentleman from Pennsylvania is that there are approximately 28.000 refugees affected by this legislation. This legislation is limited to refugees who come within the mandate of the High Commissioner of the United Nations. It is limited to European nationals. it does not take into consideration the vast numbers in the Middle East. it does not take into consideration the even greater numbers in the Far East.
