Yet on the floor of the House in this debate during the last 2 days I have not heard one concrete or specific instance of where these organizations or civil rights will be adversely affected. Nor would I support legislation that would do so. CIV--891 I say to you. Mr. Chairman. I am indeed saddened to find that we seem to be in a position in the Congress of the United States where we cannot pass legislation to send Communists to jail. including deportation when necessary. We appear impotent before the great mass of the people of the United States. We cannot go home to them and say that we are doing something about it because we are not. and we have not.
