I immediately introduced a private bill. which will presently be before the committee of which the distinguished Senator from Nevada is chairman. The bill was introduced for the purpose of dealing with this matter as a special case. and of setting forth the actual facts. I am now advised that. even if this language could be construed to cover a case like this. yet under the circumstances of the case the man should not be deported. despite the words "wilfully misrepresenting a material fact." because he fled from persecution and wanted to avoid repatriation. I ask the Senator if he can give me a ruling on that question for the RECORD. so that we can know just what the situation will be under the proposed new law as the Senator has presented it.
