Senator Herbert Lehman urged amending the 1953 Refugee Relief Act and removing Scott McLeod as its administrator. He accused McLeod and aides of preferring fewer refugees and linked the move to the dismissal of Edward J. Corsi from the State Department migration staff. Lehman proposed placing refugee operations under a full time State Department administrator and dropping the two year security history requirement for admitted refugees.
