Speech #840184026

I am sure everyone in the House knows how deeply interested he is that Communists do not migrate to very sensitive areas of the world or migrate to our country. I wonder if the gentleman is aware of the statement that was presented to our committee by the Honorable FRANCIS E. WALTER on the movement of European refugees from Communist China through Hong Kong under the auspices of the Intergovernmental Committee for European Migration. On page 962 Mr. WALTER states: It is in the humanitarian and political interest of the United States that the effort to rescue these refugees should continue. Further he states: To do otherwise would not only sacrifice the lives of thousands of stanch enemies of communism. but would contribute substantially to current Soviet objectives. He has also stated that there were no known Communists who have returned to Communist China and that no known Communists have been found who have migrated to any other country.
