Miss You." This article typifies. I think. the sentiment of the millions of Americans who have learned of the unprecedented treatment of this fine man by our Department of State. That treatment was carefully scrutinized recently by the Senate Internal Security Subcommitte and in that bodys unanimous report the Senators found: The subcommittee feels that there may have been undue laxness in granting visas to known Communists and to persons believed to be Communists. There is unjustifiable inconsistency in a policy which arbitrarily excludes friends of the United States who are not excludable under the law. while granting visas to known Communists and mass murders [sic]. who are sworn enemies of this country. and whose exclusion is called for by the law. The report further stated specifically: Cancellation of the visa of Michel Struelens. and the surrounding and subsequent harrassments to which the Department of State sublected him. constituted a glaring abuse of the visa power and a performance unworthy of the Government of a great nation dedicated to the principles of freedom and Justice. The article in the Catholic News is worthy of our people who deeply appreciate Mr. Struelens efforts to bring the truth on the Congo to them.
