Mr. Speaker. I learned several days ago that Daniel Schorr. one of the finest foreign correspondents and broadcasters it has been my privilege to hear. had been denied a readmission visa to Russia. from where he had been broadcasting for some time. At the same time I learned that two Russian newspaper representatives. in the United States. had applied for a renewal of their visas. insisting that permission to return be given to them before they leave the United States for a visit to Russia. Without commenting on the temerity of these people in insisting on this sort of condition. It seems to me we ought to hesitate before we agree to permit people to come to the United States as correspondents. when the Russian Government has done the unprecedented thing of attempting to dictate to the United States who shall come to Russia in order to obtain what meager news it is possible to obtain and disseminate in the United States.
