I do not make this charge lightly. But since the lives of American hostages are at stake. I am compelled to state that the President. in his recent news conference. gave false information to the American people concerning the immigration of Iranians to this country. The President stated that the thousands of Iranians who have come to this country since midNovember 1979. were here because of humanitarian reasons. He also stated that immigration officials are making rigorous checks on these immigrants. But quite bluntly. this is not the truth. United Press International has uncovE) This symbol represents the time of day during the House Proceedings. e.g.. is 2:07 p.m. ered what it calls "lax inspection policies" and an administration attitude that "frustrates immigration agents and undercuts FBI warnings that some (immigrants) may be student terrorists." I will place the entire UPI story in the RECORD. As for the Presidents news conference remarks on Iranian student immigration all I can do is to quote the Presidents words back to him. As he said in August of 1976: If I should do anything to betray the trust thats been put in me. it would have a devastating impact on this country. You are so right.
