Mr. Speaker. administration officials have frequently asserted their wish to arrange an exchange of American newsmen for Chinese newsmen. However. our Government refuses to make an agreement with the Chinese Communist Government but. instead. keeps insisting that individual Chinese journalists should apply for visas. It is plain that the Red Chinese are unreasonable and are concerned with clever propaganda advantages they can achieve from this situation. However. if we are truly interested in making this exchange a reality. all we have to do is to enter into an agreement. There are no legal barriers. In my recent correspondence with the Secretary of State. which I included in the AppendixMay 27. 1960. on page A4566the Secretary did not assert that there was any legal barrier to such an agreement.
