Mr. Speaker. it seems there are proposals by certain groups and individuals that either by Executive order or legislation. a few thousand socalled Chinese refugees or escapees be admitted to the United States. At a time when we talk of ferreting out Communists in this country and express our opposition to communism wherever it is. this is another example of the gullibility which always surprises me. I continue to believe that this idea of welcoming with open arms people about whom we know nothing. as was in the case of the socalled Hungarian freedom fighters and others from Eastern Europe and more recently the horde of Cubans about whom we make a great show of bringing in. is a mistake and an absurdity.
