As a Congressman from the Midwest it seems appropriate to remind my colleagues that this problem is not a localized problem. affecting only Florida. but it is a national problem involving security. The fact remains that our intelligence sources were caught completely off guard by Castros announcement and the problem of screening processeswhich must necessarily go on to insure that Castro is not planting agents in the United Statesis a real difficult one which I believe the Congress should concern itself with. With Cuba now a Communist satellite in our hemisphere every precaution must be taken to insure the authenticity of these refugees. Insofar as the reuniting of families is concerned. there is no question about the justifiable humanitarian side of this problem. We owe the State of Florida our applause for what she is doing for these people. however. as it relates to the Nation. it seems in order to remind the Nation of the Communist doctrine as it tries to infiltrate and conquer from within.
