However. we feel that this bill should be liberalized to cover persons who came in prior to 1950. The reason for this is to provide relief for many deserving Chinese aliens including scholars. scientists. and stanch antiCommunists who. because of the Communist conquest of the mainland. were forced to flee to the United States in 1949 and 1950. Some of these persons came in on temporary visas. some as seamen. and others came in illegally. However. since they have been here. they have comported themselves in a lawabiding manner and have not . abused the hospitality of the Nation which offered them refuge. We feel that. if the bill is amended to include entrant aliens up to 1950. it will be in accord with sound humanitarian principies and reaffirm this Nations desire to help those unfortunate victims of Communist oppression. 2.
