Speech #810113379

President. the testimony of this unidentified witness is merely corroborative of the material contained in the files of the subcommittee and of the testimony of many witnesses. including statements of officials of our Government. Last month the Attorney General of the United States stated that approximately 4 percent of the espionage and intelligence investigations pending by the Department of Justice involve persons attached to the United Nations at New York City. He further stated that because of certain exemptions and provions in our law the Department of Justice has not excluded from admission into the United States a single person to whom a visa had been issued as an affiliate of an international organization or as an affiliate of a foreign government. There was submitted to the Director of the Central Intelligence Agency a sample of a hundred names of persons who had been issued visas as affiliates of international organizations or as affiliates of foreign governments. The Director was asked to describe the background abroad of these persons. His answer includes the statement that(A) Thirtytwo percent "have reportedly or allegedly been engaged in active work for the intelligence services of their respective countries." (B) Twentynine percent "are highranking Communist officials." He stated that it must be assumed that by virtue of their positions they are working ardently for the benefit of their governments. This activity. by definition. and in the light of known Communist methods. must be considered to be subversive and against the interest of the United States. (C) He further stated that 21 percent "have reportedly or allegedly been engaged in active Communist organizational work of an underground or subversive nature outside their homeland." Notwithstanding these statements of the Director of the Central Intelligence Agency regarding a sample of these cases. recently the Deputy Undersecretary of State and the Chief of the Visa Division testified that they had no recollection of any case in which a visa had beenwithheld from a person applying as an affiliate of an international organization or as an affiliate of a foreign government. The files of the subcommittee contain numerous personal histories of the background and activities in the United States of persons who have been and are being admitted into the United States as affiliates of international organizations or as affiliates of foreign governments. These files show conclusively that the extensive Communist apparatus in the United States is under the control and direction of foreign agents who are sent into this country.
