The net result of his official comment is that nothing can be done about this deplorable situation lest we offend the sensibilities of foreign nations with which we are supposed to be in friendly diplomatic relations. Before proceeding further. may the issue be clearly stated. The bill would not in any way interfere with the legitimate activity in this country of anyone. whether he be an immigrant. a visitor. a diplomat. or a delegate to an international organization. The purpose of the bill. as so clearly stated by the senior Senator from Nevada when he addressed the Senate on the matter some time ago. is. to quote his language: To plug the loopholes of the present law so that any allenand I emphasize the Word "any"-who engages in espionage or other subversive activity must be excluded or deported. Under the provisions of S. 1832 any alien who. on the basis of our security reports. is being sent into this country to organize antiAmerican activities or to direct espionage or sabotage. will be subject to exclusion irrespective of his diplomatic or semidiplomatic status. Further. any alien. irrespective of. his diplomatic or semidiplomatic status in the United States. who engages in the organization of antiAmerican activities or in espionage or sabotage. could be promptly deported. The bill in essence is just that simple. and I say categorically that it is foolhardy for us to assume that the continued existence of international organizations and legitimate diplomatic relations precludes our protecting ourselves from this type of subversive activity. Just a few days ago the Judiciary Subcommittee held a public session at which a former member of the Federal Bureau of Investigation testified.
