I see no objection to that. The third thing it provides is that notwithstanding these provisions and screening. if a person is successful in entering this country who is a Communist or who has been a Conmunist or a member of one of these organizations designated by the Attorney General. In addition to the other penalty provided he shall be deported to the country from which he began his journey to the United States. I think there is a need for some strengthening of the security provisions. The committee recognized that. because in their report relating to section 10 of the 1948 bill the Judiciary Committee in dealing with section 10 said that for reasons of the internal security of the United States the committee had agreed to strengthen the exclusion clauses of the act. That language is on page 22 of the committee report. The method of strengthening is that which is set out on page 14 in section 10 of this bill and the additional strengthening offered by the committee is this: No visas shall be issued under the provisions of this act. as amended. to any person who Is or has been a member of or participated in. any movement which is or has been hostile to the United States or the form of government of the United States. or who advocated or assisted In the persecution of any person because of race. religion or national origin. I have not undertaken to strike that out. I have left that in. with this amendment. and in addition have provided these three steps which I have outlined.
