The HumphreyLehman bill. Senate bill 2842. and an amendment which we have submitted to the socalled McCarran billand that amendment now lies at the deskwould correct such injustices by permitting the Attorney General to waive section 212 (a) (10) in cases in which there are special and extenuating circumstances. and in which the admission of the alien could not reasonably harm this country. Our provision would make the law sufficiently flexible to bar from the United States the undesirable alien. but at the same time admit to our shores the innocent victim of Communist oppression. This is just another illustration of the need for more careful study of the McCarran bill before we rush headlong and enact its provisions. There is another exclusion provision which in my judgment aims at the wrong man.
