I am in agreement with all that has been said. How did the men committing the act of piracy get into our country? We are now permitting. or will permit. 20.000 refugees from Cuba to come here. It strikes me that something ought to be done in that regard to properly screen these refugees in order to assure that no Castroites are allowed to enter rather than talking about action to take now with respect to a particular plane. In my judgment. if anything should take place which would result in more difficulty with Russia or some other country. a great deal of damage or sabotage might be done by an enemy of this country who has entered as a refugee from Cuba. It strikes me that something should be done to prevent refugees from coming in. indiscriminately and without screening rather than let them in. without any check at all as we are now doing.
