Speaker. I would like to call the attention of the Members of the House to section 301 of the Voice of America bill. This section 301 is an immigration bill as it pertains to the entry and deportation of people. As I read the section. it gives authority to the Secretary of State to permit the entry of an endless number of persons. They can come to this country outside quotas and the immigration laws of the country. When deportation Is found necessary they are put under the Immigration Act of 1917. and the Department of Justice has a poor record of deporting people. It will be possible for thousands to come to this country and declare themselves to be displaced persons by saying "I cannot be sent home. I willbe shot." or "The political picture has changed and I have no home." So they become refugees and stay as long as they want to. In my opinion this section absolutely opens up the Immigration gates of this country. I ask you to please give this section 301 serious study before we vote on H. R. 3342 or the socalled Voice of America bill.
