But I would like to point out to you. and you are not represented here by counsel today. that both rules do not restrict the right of a committee to hold executive sessions. I might say to you that there are some aspects of national security involved in this hearing. but it is not necessary for the committee to determine whether or not the national security would be endangered if you were heard in public session. We are here investigating the administration of the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952. and in particular the administration of inadmissible aliens to the United States under the waiver provisions of section 212 of the Immigration and Nationality Act. There are many reasons why this hearing should be executive. many which I discussed in executive hearing a few minutes ago. before the committee. I might say that I believe that rule 26(m) is operative here.
