However. I have to differ with the distinguished gentleman from Virginia with respect to his interpretation of the decision of the Supreme Court in the Strecker case. In that case. and I think the decision was strained to some extent perhaps. the Supreme Court said that had Congress intended that membership in the Communist Party at any time was a deportable ground. then Congress would have said so. Unfortunately under the act that was being interpreted. I believe the intent of Congress was perhaps ambiguous. but certainly the language of the amendment offered by the gentleman from Iowa is not ambiguous.
