Speech #820208923

I hold in my hand also. Mr. President. a stack of several hundred cards issued by the American Committee for Protection of Foreign Born. which likewise vigorously opposes the instant bill. Lest the Senators who have been receiving these cards be under the impression that this organization with such a laudable name is worthy. permit me to point out to the Senate that the American Committee for Protection of Foreign Born was cited as subversive and Communist by the Attorney General. in letters to the Loyalty Review Board released June 1. 1948. and September 21. 1948. that the American Committee for Protection of Foreign Born was cited as "one of the oldest auxiliaries of the Communist Party in the United States" by the Special Committee on UnAmerican Activities of the House of Representatives. in its reports of March 29. 1944. and June 25. 1942. and that the American Committee for Protection of Foreign Born was also cited as being "among the Communistfront organizations for racial agitation" by the California Committee on UnAmerican Activities. in its reports of 1947 and 1948. These subversive organizations and committees have been parroting the false charges against my bill which first appeared in the Communist New York Daily Worker of March 21. 1952. a copy of which I hold in my hand. This article urges all readers to write their representatives in Congress to oppose "the new McCarran police state law." I hold in my hand.
