Let me read the first paragraph of this pamphlet. which is headed "The threat to America": A small radical minority. including the Daily Worker. is engaged in a determined campaign of misrepresentation (1) to defeat the MeCarranWalter omnibus immigration and nationality bill which is designed to plug the loopholes and remove the inequities in our present immigration and naturalization laws. and (2) to cause the enactment of the HumphreyLehman omnibus immigration bill which would destroy our protective immigration system. weaken the procedures designed to exclude and deport Communists and other subversives. and overrun the United States with a flood of aliens. all in the name of a liberal Immigration policy. I shall not read further from the pamphlet. but it continues in the same vein. Mr. President. let me now read to you the names of some of the socalled small radical minority who are attacked in the foregoing paragraph. Included are some of the organizations that are joined with the Senator from New York . and the Senator from Minnesota and me and our associates in trying to defeat the McCarran bill.
