Somehow. I feel that the author of the Sermon on the Mount and the writer of the Declaration of Independence would approve of granting sanctuary in America to abandoned orphans and other persons who are wracked by sickness and misery. I have contacted the Public Health Service and the Immigration and Naturalization Service regarding their administration of section 6 of Public Law 85316 which provides for the admission of those suffering with tuberculosis. The Assistant Surgeon General of the United States reports that there are sufficient safeguards in the law and the regulations prescribed by the Attorney General to prevent those aliens suffering from tuberculosis from acting as sources of infection to other people. if the regulations are properly carried out. Under the regulations. an alien may not be admitted to the United States with tuberculosis until arrangements have been made for his care at a hospital or sanatorium in the United States and he cannot be discharged from the institution until approved by the Public Health Service. The costs of such treatment are borne by the individual or his sponsors and a showing must be made that adequate financial resources are available before the visa for admission to our country is issued. I cannot believe that this law would cost our Federal Government or the various State governments additional money. Mr.
