Today even though Poland has been subjugated to the might of godless communism. people throughout the world still look on the Polish Constitution as a symbol of the day when Poland will again be free. In my Eighth Congressional District of Massachusetts. we have many fine citizensoutstanding citizensof Polish descent who are completely steeped in the principles of freedom and who are bitterly unhappy over the continued denial of freedom to their friends and relatives behind the Iron Curtain. Our present laws of immigration and red tape make it difficult if not impossible for escapees from Communist terror behind the Iron Curtain to be admitted into the United States. This naturally rankles our Americans of Polish descent because of the implication that Polish people who want to come here provide some kind of special security risk. No such implication is justified.
