Mr. Speaker. earlier .today- I stated that the President. of the United States had given false information to the American people on a grave matter. He stated in a news conference that the reason Iranians were being allowed to come to this country after our Embassy people had been taken hostage is because the Iranian immigrants were humanitarian cases. I questioned that statement when it was made because the President did not account for the over 2.000 students allowed to come to this country. But I was shocked when I read a United Press International article that appeared yesterday. The UPI article states that administration policy on the Iranian immigrants has hampered FBI antiterrorist activity and has hurt immigration officials attemptsto investigate the immigiants. Mr. Speaker. this is nothing short of a scandal. The American people are being asked to accept terrorists as immigrants while our people are being tortured. Thats. righttortured. Under the United Nations definition of torture. that is precisely what our people are enduring.
