That is true. The Senator will remember that at the hearings we had testimony showing what the people of the United States are up against. when I say that the best interests of the United States have not been protected and that no attempt has been made to protect them. The law written by Congress. as it appears in the act. says that the burden of proof is on the applicant. However. officials of the Immigration Service and officials of the Displaced Persons Commission in Europe testified that that was ignored. and that It is up to them to prove absolutely that a man is a Communist. The investigator may be confronted with facts which would raise a reasonable doubt and facts which would make him believe that the person is a bad security risk. but even then he cannot veto the application. but he has to go further and has to prove that the applicant is a Communist.
