Four bills providing for the immigration of displaced persons and refugees to this country have been introduced in the House by Reps. ? Celler and Arthur Klein, both Democrats of New York.
Celler’s bill and one of Klein’s provide for the assignment of unused quotas of all nationalities to cover the immigration of refugees. Another of Klein’s bills provides for the admission, in the fiscal year ending in June, 1948, of 100,000 displaced persons over the regular quotas.
