Mr. President. about this time Frank Costello was sentenced to 18 months in a Federal penitentiary for contempt of Congress. and he had scarcely begun serving this sentence before the Department of Justice initiated action to cancel his citizenship and to have him deported. Upon receipt of this information I promptly addressed a letter to the Attorney General. Mr. James P. McGranery. suggesting that this racketeer be compelled to serve his full time in the penitentiary. during which time the Government complete its tax case. and after this racketeer had paid all of his income taxes and after he had paid his debt to society by serving his full prison term. he then be deported. To me it did not make sense that he be released from prison and deported with all his illbegotten gains and the Government left holding the bag. At this point. I ask unanimous consent to have incorporated in the RECORD my letter of September 15. 1952. addressed to the Attorney General.
