Let me here remind the Senate that on July 15. 1949. the then Attorney General presented to the subcommittee of the Senate Committee on the Judiciary an analysis of 4.984 of the more militant members of the Communist Party. United States of America. as of 1947. He stated that 4.555 (91.4 percent) of the total "were of foreign stock or were married to persons of foreign stock". 3.908 (78.4 percent) "were of foreign stock". 647 (13 percent) "were married to persons of foreign stock". and in 429 (8.6 percent) cases "were the subject and his parents. and if married the spouse and the spouses parents. all born in the United States." The subcommittee of the Senate Committee on the Judiciary which has been investigating our immigration and naturalization systems has found. as I have previously reported to the Senate. from extensive and conclusive evidence. that Communist agents are gaining admission into the United States at an alarming rate. This situation constitutes a direct threat to the security of this country and we are even now endeavoring to prepare legislation which would stem the tide of Communist infiltration. How is our present program working aside from the speed with which displaced persons are being brought into the United States?
