Also excluded are individuals who become members of a Communist organization for purposes of police and investigative work. It is necessary at times. because of the conspiracy. to have agents of the United States or of the various States act under cover. in order to obtain evidence or to learn what really is going on in the Communist conspiracy movement. The bill. of necessity. amends the Immigration and Nationality Act. To the existing 10 paragraphs which constitute the present list of acts of voluntary expatriation is added an 11th. as follows: (11) Being. after a date 6 months after the date of enactment of the Communist Expatriation Act of 1954. a member of any Communist organization. as defined by section 3 of such act. with knowledge of the purposes or objectives of such organization and that such organization is a Communist organization as so defined. Other amendments are made of a technical nature to bring additional sections of the Immigration and Nationality Act into compliance with the principal change. Deportation of naturalized citizens who lose their nationality pursuant to paragraph 11 above is also provided. I believe enactment of the bill will add tremendously to the internal security of the United States and will do so without infringing on the individual rights of any citizen. It will be one more remedy to be afforded the citizens of the United States. and will allow America to defend herself against the agents of a foreign power engaged in subversive activities.
