Smith to enter the United States. while it has granted free access to this country to such Communists as Fidel Castro. and to numerous leftwing revolutionaries for whom it has waived the passport requirement it uses as a pretext to bar Mr. Smith. and Whereas Ian Smith. from his valiant service as an RAP pilot during World War II to his recent offer of Rhodesian troops to fight alongside of Americans in Vietnam. has been a consistent friend of the United States and foe of totalitarianism of all shades. and Whereas in conformity with the basic American tradition of free and open discussion of all controversial issues Mr. Smith should have a right to state his case to the American people. and the American people should have the right to decide for themselves on the merits of that case. therefore Be it resolved that the Arlington Young Republican Club requests that the State Department reverse its uncalled for and inconsistent action. and immediately grant a visa to Mr. Smith so that he can visit the United States and honor his speaking engagement. and Be it further resolved that the Arlington Young Republican Club requests Virginias members of Congress to demand that President Johnson and Secretary Rusk take whatever action is necessary to insure that Ian Smith is admitted to the United States. Adopted March 13. 1968.
