Mr. President. in addition to its general provisions. there is one provision of this bill which I desire to mention particularly. We found recently. as set forth in the report of the Crime Investigating Committee. that there were provisions of law requiring that a person be convicted of two felonies before he could be deported from the United States. The committee recommended that conviction of one felony. plus a finding by the Attorney General that there was no liklihood of the person becoming a good citizen. should be sufficient for purposes of deportation. However. as I understand. the pending bill goes much further and provides that if a person is convicted of any kind of crime. he may be deported. Another provision designates the Attorney General as the overall judge of whether a person is or is not entitled to citizenship. or is or Is not entitled to remain in the country. depending upon a finding as to whether the person is a good citizen. Of course. that is nothing like what the Crime Investigating Committee recommended.
