The State Department considers that it has power to restrict travel not only to Red China. but also to other countries. and it construes this power as extending to experienced and proficient newsmen of unquestioned loyalty. The U.S. Court of Appeals in Washington has upheld this presumption of power on both constitutional grounds and on the basis of a provision of the 1952 Immigration Act which requires a passport for travel abroad "subject to such limitations and exceptions as the President may authorize and prescribe." Mr. President. I think it is absurd to deny passports to qualified newspaper men or women who are citizens of the United States.
