I wish to impress upon the Senate the definite relationship between the cutoff date in our displacedpersons legislation and the security risk to this country. Rather than to make assertions on the basis of my own knowledge of the subject. I invite the attention of the Senate to excerpts from the testimony which was given before the Senate Committee on the Judiciary by intelligence officers of this Government. immigration officials. and others who have a firsthand knowledge of the situation. May I first quote the testimony given in January of this year by a witness who was formerly a director of certain phases of Army intelligence work in Germany and who has an intimate knowledge of security problems in connection with displaced persons: We became convinced with adequate evidence that deliberate attempts were being made by the Soviet Government. by the Polish Government. not only to infiltrate the military installations of Berlin and Germany but to send people much farther. to the United States. to South America. and to Canada. under the guise of being displaced persons or beifig political refugees. Question. Colonel. may I ask you this question?
