President. our distinguished colleague from Maryland. Senator CHARLES MATHIAS. recently had an item in the Washington Post on the strange law that we have that causes us to shoot ourselves in the foot and violate our own best principles. That is the provision of the immigration law that has been used to keep people from our shores because of their political beliefs. Last year I introduced an amendment to the immigration bill calling for the repeal of any test of political beliefs for temporary visas. Unfortunately. it was defeated by a vote of 30 to 66. but we must still modify the law. I am inserting in the RECORD the CHARLES MATHIAS article of Sunday.
