Speech #810333878

I do not intend to go into any discussion whatsoever of the provisions of the bill. This has been thoroughly discussed by the distinguished chairman of the Committee on UnAmerican Activities. who has covered generally all phases of the bill with the exception of those provisions pertaining to what I call the passport sections. These sections I understand will be discussed by the gentleman from Pennsylvania . a member of the committee and also a distinguished member of the House Judiciary Committee which has to do with the various immigration bills that come before the House. I know of the great intent of purposes that the conferees from both the Senate and the House had during the several days we were in conference trying to reach an agreement on the two bills. I know that from my own personal observation during those several days of conference that there was a spirit of unanimity insofar as the reporting out of a bill was concerned which would. to all intents and purposes. protect the internal security of our Nation.
