I mentioned the case of Mr. Mikolajczyk because his status was so plain in my own mind and because I shall never forget the conversation we had with hm at his home that morning for more than 2 hours. After he -had told us that perhaps it would be better for him to remain in Poland and suffer the fate that was visited upon Nikola Petkov in Bulgaria. though we had urged him to flee and seek asylum in America or Great Britain. when we left there that night or that morning. somebody In our party said. "We shall never see that man alive again." Indeed. he was a marked man. But fortunately he reconsidered. and by our aid and the aid of others. he was able to flee in a dramatic manner. familiar now to every Senator. and to find asylum in our country. Mr. President. without some legislation either in the form of a private bill. such as the Senator from West Virginia has suggested. or by some of the other methods. there is no way for him now to remain in this country. He could be deported and returned to a country which would be very glad to receive him. They would take him back in Poland. Yes. they would take him back.
