His job has been Administrator of the Bureau of Security and Consular Affairsa post which I should like to remind the Senate was created by Congress in 1952 in order to bring order out of the chaos that reigned in that Department at that time. Scott McLeod was handed a herculean task. He was placed in charge not merely of 1 beleaguered and baffling office. but of 4: Security. passport. visas. and munitions control On top of this. Congress. in an extraordinary show of confidence in the man. conferred on him a fifth duty. the dubious honor of directing the Refugee Relief Act of 1956. a piece of legislation that even some of its friends thought was unworkable. Scott McLeod has earned an international renown as an antiCommunist. and thus he has won the everlasting hatred of the comrades and their assorted camp followersthe pinks. some selfstyled liberals. the eggheads. and Soviet apologists. all over the world. In recent weeks he has been the target of a vicious smear campaign of a type that has become all too familiar in this country.
