I am sure if it were not for the cold war hysteria. very few Members of the Congress would vote for that provision. Certainly the majority would not vote to suspend the rules so that you must take this bill as it is without any opportunity for amendment. despite its serious implications against the security of the liberties of * the American people. The gentleman from New York has discussed the immigration provision of the bill. I simply want to add to his comments that this section will work out only in one way: That there will be admitted into this country former Fascists and Nazis. antilabor people. Ipromonarchists. people that a democracy such as ours would want to keep out. It is only natural that the followers of the Hapsburgs. Francos. and other Fascist scum will be the beneficiaries of this feature of the bill. which suspends the immigration laws and allows for permanent admission of 100 of them per year. Then. from the standpoint of Government operations. on page 15 of the bill. we find this: The sums made available to the Agency may be expended without regard to the provisions of law and regulations relating to the expenditure of Government funds. I wish some of you gentlemen who have been cutting down appropriations for unemployment services and social welfare legislature would listen to this: The sums made available to the Agency may be expended without regard to the provisions of law and regulations relating to the expenditures of Government funds.
