President Eisenhower urged special legislation to grant these persons and others. who flee from totalitarian governments. the status of permanent residence. This would enable them to apply for United States citizenship. which no doubt many would do. Some may elect to return to Hungary when it is once again free. but regardless. each alien should be given the freedom of choice. Since February 6. 1957. my bill H. R. 4505. has been pending in the Immigration subcommittee of the House Judiciary Committee. There are probably many other similar bills. Mine would simply admit for permanent residence aliens who flee. or who have fled the persecution and tyranny of any totalitarian government.
