Speech #830223641

I have discussed this problem with high officials of the State Department as well as with certain prominent churchmen. members of the National Council of Churches of Christ in this country. I have attempted to carry on these discussions in a friendly. constructive manner but I have been firm in my expressed belief that the admission of these people would be a tragic catastrophe and would do incalculable harm to the best interests of this country and indeed of the entire free world. I am assuming that these aliens would be mandatorily excludable from this country under the provisions of section 212 (a) (28) of Public Law 414. otherwise known as the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952. and that they are being temporarily admitted in the discretion of the Attorney General under the provisions of section 212 (d) (3) of the same legislation. I am not believing that these aliens would present any risk to the national security of this country from the standpoint of either espionage or sabotagethey are. I am sure. coming simply as propagandists for their cause.
