Secretary-General Kurt Waldheim's alleged Nazi past that could liar his entry into the United Slates. The House approved the resolution on a voice vote under expedited procedures. It was approved earlier in the day by the House Judiciary Committee on a 31-0 vote. The resolution met no strong opposition on the House floor, but concern was voiced in the committee meeting that U.S. congressional action might influence upcoming elections in Austria. Rep Romano Mazzoli. D-Ky.. chairman of the immigration subcommittee, said all members of the subcommittee agreed to forgo full hearings on the issue on the grounds that "time was of the essence" and that the resolu tion should be handled quickly. "I'm trying to figure out what the urgency is." said Rep. Henry Hyde. R-Ill "I suspect the urgency is that Mr. Waldheim is engaged in a runoff election in his country and the urgency is to get this verdict in before the election." Supporters conceded that the IJ.S. justice Department has an investigation already under way and that the resolution simply would put Congress on record in support of the procedure. "It would perhaps give additional sanc tion and comfort to those who are involved in this activity." said Mazzoli. Hyde, who went on to vote in favor of the resolution, said it might lie better to defer con gressional action until after the June 8 Austrian presidential runoff election so as not to have any influence on the vote. Rep. Hamilton Fish of New York, ranking Republican on the committee, said he was aware of the risk but decided that it was more important that the United States take a stand as a matter of principle. "For the United States not to make a deci sion at this time is too close an analogy to the silence that was evidenced by the civilized world some 44 years ago," Fish said.
