It really does behoove the administration and the Congress to ask that in the next Congress. the 100th Congress. we ought to examine the statute and see how it can be made to reflect what is best in our country and what is free and current and contemporary in our country. and not what comes from us in the legacy from a past which is as little honored in the present time as was the period of the Alien and Sedition Acts in the last decade of the 18th century. We are perfectly capable of protecting our security interests without embarrassing our Nation. Mr. President. may I further add. however. that I have spoken today with the Commissioner of the Immigration and Naturalization Service and got the fullest cooperation from him. He had not been aware of the matter. That does raise a question as to how the Commissioner could not be told of something of this consequence. where friendly embassies from democracies of the Western Hemisphere send notes to our Government. and when an important story appears in the New York Times.
