The other 2.506 students who have received grants from the State Department have. through various channels. been carefully checked and under continuous supervision through reputable men appointed by university .presidents on 400 campuses to carry out this responsibility. None of these three students came under the Fulbright program. they arrived in 1949 which indicates that they could not have come under the Presidents emergency fund program operative from 1945 to 1947. and there was no authority at the time of their entry whereby the Department of State could have assisted them. The Department has remained in close contact with Immigration and Naturalization authorities at all times and has cooperated with the INS in regard to all problems concerning students. I wanted to invite especial attention to this matter. because there seems to be a tendency on the part of even the Associated Press. which certainly has the best reputation and for which I have great respect. to make a good story out of anything that occurs by connecting it with the Department of State. alleging some communistic tendencies. This is a highly prejudicial article in connection with a program which I think is of great importance to our foreign policy.
