The recommendations of my committee are contained in the report. There is a recommendation out of which arose the Foreign Agent Registration Act. There is a recommendation that Congress enact legislation conferring upon the Secretary of Labor authority to shorten or terminate the stay in this country of any visitor admitted here under temporary visa. whenever in the judgment of the Secretary such visitor shall engage in the promotion or dissemination of propaganda or engage in political activity in the United States. There is the recommendation giving the Army and the Navy the power to control Communist activities and subversive activities in any Army camp or a Navy yard. We found that in peacetime the Communists could and did go into Navy yards or Army camps and distribute their propaganda. and there was no authority to stop it.
