Mr. Speaker. the representatives of 26 American news organizations have in their possession properly validated passports for Communist China. All they lack is Chinese Communist visas. On August 13. 1958. the State Department wrote me. "Apparently the Peiping regime to date has not felt that it was to its political or propaganda advantage to grant such permission." What the Red Chinese want is reciprocity. They want visas for their correspondents to permit their correspondents to visit the United States. Last August the State Department announced that no reciprocal visas would be granted to Chinese correspondents. In other words. we want them to allow our newsmen to travel in their country but we wont agree to allow their newsmen to come here. What a sorry situation.
