Mr. Speaker. on March 1. 1971. I spoke before this body in regard to the deportation of Bernadette Devlin. At that time I made mention of the fact that I had tried to obtain information from the State Department without any avail. and cited the two instances when I had communicated with them. though I had never received an answer. However. my appearance before this body did bring an answer. On March 2. 1971. I received an answer from the congressional liaison for the State Department indicating there was nothing they could do under the law to keep Miss Devlin from speaking because she had asked to speak in this country on a political lecture tour. a professional lecture tour. on social. economic and political causes. from Ireland.
