But it cannot be gainsaid that they are entitled to full and prompt consideration for whatever hope they offer for adding to our national security. quieting unfounded fears. and eliminating this issue as a handicap in our national and international affairs. Among them are proposals to tighten the Federal laws against Federal employment of subversives. to strengthen the Foreign Agents Registration Act. to lengthen the statutes of limitations on subversive crimes. to urge Federal courts to consider such cases on a high priority 1.asis. to permit Federal judges to deny bail to those convicted of such crimes pending appeals. to prohibit the taking of bail from subversive organizations or their members to increase statutory penalties for such crimes. to take Amercan citizenship from and deport naturalized citizens convicted of such crimes. to require American citizens employed by the United Nations to receive security clearances. to authorize a new Assistant Attorney General to be responsible for combating antisubversive activities. to strengthen the laws against Communist infiltration into labor unions and other organizations. to prohibit the use of the mails for sending Communist propaganda. and to prohibit Government loans to Communists. By way of specific and further illustrations.
