We ask as many as possible to come here. to observe our freedoms as well as our standard of living. and to help build an enduring friendship between our two peoples. This resolution pays tribute to the Russian people whom we respect and admire. but denounces their Communist overlords who deny them freedom as the first step in destroying freedom throughout the world. The Russian nonCommunists would qualify for visas that would permit them to visit the United States. and we would be proud and happy to receive them as honored guests. However. under our immigration laws. Khrushchev and his fellowCommunists would never qualify for visas because their hands are stained with blood. This is the position of the American people that must be stated clearly and emphatically: "We welcome the Russian people. but we reject their Communist oppressors." This is the vital distinction that the administration does not comprehend. By inviting Khrushchev to visit the United States. it has sacrificed moral imperatives in favor of wishful thinking.
