Decidedly not. sir. We had nothing to do with that. We knew nothing about it until the Department of Justice informed us that the President had commuted the sentences of these men or had paroled them for deportation. In no instance did we take any of these people out of the penitentiary until the case had been finally dislposed of and they were ready to be placed on a vessel. or their terms had expired. and we could not get a passport. In other words. the Department of Justice conveyed the information. Mr. Chairman. when I went on this committee I went there for the sole purpose of helping American women and children who were the victims of circumstance because of some neglect on the part of the Federal Government.
