Mr. Speaker. I have asked the Justice Department to cancel the visa of Miss Bernadette Devlin who. according to United Press International. offered to lead a demonstration against President Nixon in Des Moines. Iowa. In light of the bombing incident we had at the Capitol. it is obvious we do not need anyone stirring up violent dissent in the United States and surely we have enough agitators in this country without importing a foreign national to stir up hatreds and unrest. I have sent a telegram to Mr. Raymond Farrell. Commissioner of the Immigration and Naturalization Service. to inquire about the conditions under which Miss Devlin received her visa. I am sure it does not contain any provisions for her to become an agitator against the U.S. Government or to sponsor such demonstrations. The Immigration and Naturalization Service should move to revoke her visa if Miss Devlin is in violation of its provisions. Miss Devilns conduct is presumptuous and an insult to the United States and the Nation does not owe any foreign national the right to attempt to disrupt our affairs.
