Session #86 · 1959–61

Speech #860137612

As the gentleman remembers. out of that committee came a recommendation for what now is the Smith Act. the Foreign Agents Registration Act. the tightening up of our immigration laws in relation to subversive persons. and giving the Army and Navy and the Air Force the power in peacetime to control subversive activities in the installations of our armed services. I know the tremendous pressures that are brought upon the members of the Committee on UnAmerican Activities. I know the influences that operate to try to undermine the effective work of the chairman and the members of this committee. and I want to express my hearty congratulations to the gentleman from Pennsylvania and the members of the committee on both sides for the outstanding work they have done.
