Speech #830141241

Mr. Speaker. on Friday there appeared the above editorial in the Washington Postan editorial which was critical of the provisions of the Immigration and Nationality Act with respect to fingerprinting. The editorial expresses the indignation of Members of the British Parliament over a provision of the law which. incidentally. has been the law since 1940. I am not greatly concerned about the feelings of Members of the British Parliament toward steps that we take in protecting ourselves. but I am disturbed because of the number of American newspapers which are now engaged in a deliberate attempt to mislead the American people with respect to the provisions of the Immigration and Nationality Act.
