Remarks to Members of the Provisional Intergovernmental Committee for the Movement of Migrants from Europe

June 11, 1952

I AM very much pleased to have you here today. I hope we can accomplish the purposes set forth in the message in the proposed bill that is now before the two committees in the House and the Senate, and continue to help those refugees who certainly deserve our help and support.

It is a pleasure to me to welcome you here at the White House today.

NOTE: The President spoke at 12:05 p.m. in the Rose Garden at the White House. The Third Session of the Provisional Intergovernmental Committee was held in Washington, June 10-13, 1952.

The Supplemental Appropriation Act, approved July 15, authorized $9,240,500 for the work of the Committee (66 Stat. 637).
