Mr. President. I ask unanimous consent to have printed in the Appendix of the RECORD an article by Roscoe Drummond. appearing in yesterdays New York Hearld Tribune. in which he emphasizes what I have tried to emphasize in a bill introduced in the Senate. and in a strong plea to the Senate and to the committees which handle such proposed legislation. that the fingerprinting requirements in our immigration laws. as they apply to the exchange of students. sports teams. ballet companies. theater. companies. musicians. and a great number of others who can be absolutely invaluable in the persontoperson program between ourselves and the countries behind the Iron Curtain. should be dispensed with on a reasonable basis. and in the discretion of the Secretary of State. There is no more- powerful answer to the Russian propaganda which proceeds not from a desire for cultural exchange. but from the fact that it is found very convenient to blame on us the fact that it lags. than giving this discretionagain. I emphasize. on a reciprocal basis. and in the discretion of the Secretary of State.
