Mr. Speaker. during the last several weeks there have paraded before a committee of the United States Senate a number of aliens who have been telling a most unusual and harrowing story concerning the attempts being made by the Iron Curtain countries to persuade these people to return home. Many of them are afraid because they say that they made misrepresentations when they came into the United States and are fearful lest they be deported. At the time the basic Immigration and Nationality Code was drafted. in 1952. the conferees of the House and Senate knew all about those people who had made misrepresentations as to the place of their birth at the time they left the continent of Europe. Many of these people swore that they were born in countries other than Russia because we at that moment were parties to the forcible repatriation program. a terrible blot on our history. These people knew that if they were sent back to Communist Russia they would suffer in many respects.
