I received a response from Mr. Peurifoy. as follows: Answer. The Department has no recollection of any case in the course of the last 5 years where a visa has been withheld from a person applying as an affiliate of an international organization or as an affiliate of a foreign government upon the basis of subversive activities of any nature referred to in your letter. In other words. the record shows that there has not been a case turned down by the State Department however subversive may have been the record of the applicant for a visa. We are creating nothing new. As a matter of fact. the Hoover Commission recommended that the Visa Division be taken out of the State Department and put into the Department of Justice. We are not doing that. We are putting it under a head in the State Department where opportunity will beafforded for contact with all the security agencies of the Government. particularly the FBI and the CIA.
