Speech #810333205

I want every Senator to note what the Attorney General says. because here is the crux of the entire argument. Our national security statutes and administrative security programs cover these activities. The statutes and programs deal with treason. seditious conspiracy. advocating the overthrow of the Government by force or violence. sabotage. espionage. registration of f oreign agents. perjury and the making of false statements. exclusion and deportation of subversive aliens. exclusion or removal of disloyal persons from Government employment. denial or cancellation of passports. and denial of incometax exemptions to subversive organizations or of tax deductions for contributions made to them. Let me interpolate. the Attorney General says. "You have already got that law." just as Tom Dewey said in his debate with former Governor Stassen in May 2 years ago. The Attorney General continues: Under the criminal statutes. to name but a few of the cases. there were convicted of treason Chandler.
