Mr. Chairman. I rise in opposition to the amendment. Mr. Chairman. the gentleman from New York has advocated for years the deportation of anybody who dared to say anything. even though they did not do any more than talk. He has favored that before the Rules Committee and advocated it. I have always taken the position that I would permit anybody to stand even on the Capitol steps and say anything that they wanted until they committed an overt act [applause]. call him Communist. Socialist. or what you please. There is no place in the world where they would suppress free speech to that extent. and this ought to be the last spot on the globe where free speech is suppressed even though it be uttered by a Communist or a Socialist.
