I am not talking about Communist activities now. I am not talking about subversive activities. These are official guests with visas from the State Departmentinspectors and people coming over to analyze defense establishments in America and for other purposes. They have a grand total of 3.696 visitors officially visaed into the United States for the fiscal year ending June 30. 1946. of whom 862 were here on socalled temporary business visas. They are the engineers. statisticians. and scientists who made these surveys. I am going to put a breakdown into the RECORD of the 3.696. The breakdown is as follows: Nonresident aliens admitted from Russia during fiscal year ending June 30. 1946 Government personnel --------------- 823 Temporary business. engineers. scientists. analysts. etc ---------------- 862 Socalled temporary "pleasure visas"which might mean anything ---- 1. 119 In transit ------------------------- 618 Students ---------------------------28 International organization people. United Nations. etc ---------------- 58 Nonresident aliensRussians who have been here. left the country. and again returned with visitors visas-- 188 Total Russians officially admitted to the United States last year ---------------------3.696 It logically follows. if we are going to permit Russian visitors officially to inspect our plants. to photograph and publish and analyze the defense plants of this country. to map and pinpoint our basic economic structures. what kind of reciprocity do we have? How much authority do we have to go around Russia and visit her plants. to collect pictures of them. and so forth? These are logical questions which occur to realistic men.
