The Communists. on the other hand. attempt to break down in every possible way the free interchange of persons and ideas. It will be to their advantage. and not ours. if we establish for ourselves an "iron curtain" against those who can help us in the fight for freedom. Another provision of the bill which would greatly weaken our national security is section 25 which would make subversive aliens eligible for naturalization as soon as they wtihdraw from organizations required to register under this bill. whereas under existing law they must wait for a period of 10 years after such withdrawal before becoming eligible for citizenship. This proposal is clearly contrary to the national interest. and clearly gives to the Communists an advantage they do not have under existing law. . I have discussed the provisions of this bill at some length in order to explain why I am convinced that it would be harmful to our security and damaging to the individual rights of our people if it were enacted.
