President. Congress has long recognized that the United States. in order to combat the forces of international communism. must adopt a twofold program: first. the buildup of internal American strength to the limits of our capacity. and. second. the encouragement of all peoples to join with us in opposition to Soviet domination. Through the revision of our laws governing immigration and citizenship. we are presented with a rare opportunity to push forward to these essential objectives. We have the opportunity. by correcting many existing defects in our laws. to cement the unity of the American people and to enlist the support of foreignborn persons who would be among the most stalwart defenders of the American way of life. We have the opportunity. by rejecting all proposals which are in violation of our democratic traditions. to demonstrate to all the world that we practice the principles of justice and fair play which we preach.
