reason, I would like to make certain
broad statements concerning the bill and
Its purposes before discussing it in de-
tail
The Central Intelligence Agency was
established as a successor to the Central
Intenigence Group, under the provisions
of section 102 of the National SecuritY
Act of 1947. This section sets out the
functions of the Agency. It should be
pointed out at once that H. R. 2663,
Which we are now considering, does not Ing up and development of a career for-

In executive session, and why a certain treasonable activities during the late
amount of secrecy has been utilized in
connection with this bill, is that the dis-
cussions with the members of CIA who
appeared before the committee went in-
to the operational background of the
Agency. Naturally, operational details
cannot be talked about in public for they
go to the very heart of CIA's activities.
Bear in mind, however, that the CIA is
prohibited by law from any internal
security functions. It deals only in the
ed of foreign intelligence.

should not be publicly disclosk d. It
stands to reason that certain, of the tech-
nical equipment which this Agence must
utilize may be made only bs one firm for
reasons of security, and certainly a ;me of
this equipment should net be openly ad-
vertised for. Therefore, It seems only
proper that these authorities which the
Congress has already extended to the
armed services should be further ex

they would be dead before taking their
second step. In certain areas of the
world such persons can only contact an
American once. This section permits
quick action to save the lives of persons
of high intelligence value to the United
States.
Finally we have provided in this bill
some basic appropriations language to
which the Government Accounting Office
and the budget and fiscal offices of the
Agency can look in the expenditure of
funds. Much of this language is neces-
sary. for without it the expenditure of
funds for the purposes set forth herein
cannot be allowed. In addition, we have
provided the legal basis for the granting
to the Agency authority for the spending
of those unvouchered funds which the
Appropriations Committee of the House
will earmark, and without which there
can be no successful operation of an in-
telligence service.
For the reasons I have set forth, I urge
the passage of this bill. Above all, it will
allow this country to continue and in-
crease the successful operation of its
foreign intelligence, upon which some day
the security of this country and our very
lives may well depend.

United States Congress and its policy of
reviving fascism and preparing a new
world war. It is interesting to note that
the Moscow radio picks up and endorses
this protest almost as soon as the com-
mittee itself has received the telegram.
The pcople who will enter this country
under this provision are not spies. They
arc defectors from the totalitarian state.
They are people whose love of democ-
racy is so great that at the risk of their
lives they come to representatives of the
United States to give them information
which will help the west and the United
'States survive.
I believe the well-known radio com-
ment:nee. Edward R. Murrow, very
neatly summed up the purpose of this
section in his broadcast of March 4, in
which he stated, and I quote:
This is essentially an underground rail-
'road for first-class passengers only, up to 100
a year. It will be confined to people of the
hishest caliber. morally and mentally, who

give these aliens is admission to this
countey. and that is what your com-
mittee proposes,

cessful operation of this country's for-

Mr. MARCANTONIO. Mr. Speaker, I
yield myself 5 minutes.
Mr. Speaker, I call the attention of the
Members of the House who are present
? to the language on page 6 of the report.
I think it can be said without any fear
? of contradiction that this is the first
time in the history of the United States
?. that this language is found in any re-
port accompanying a bill coming before
the Congress. It reads as follows:
The report does not contain a full and
detailed explanation of all of the provisions
of the proposed legislation in view of the
" ? fact tba: much of such information is of a
highly coandentiai nature. However, the

The report does not contain. a full and

But you say this is dealing with espio-

tion is so unsafe from a security stand-

the civil liberties of the people but the

Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of
my time.
Mr. 'VINSON. /el e Speaker, I yield the
balance of my time to the distinguished
gentleman from Missouri 11V1r. SHORT].
The SPEANER The gentleman from
-.7.efiseouri is recognized for 4 minutes.
-Mr. SHORT. Mr. Speaker, there is
some plausibility in the argument ad-
vanced by the gentleman from New York.
I suppose that none of us in the Chamber
. at this moment likes this particular kind
. of legislation, but I think we all will agree
that the weakest link in our chain of
national defense in days gone by has
been in a weak intelligence system. The
Germans, the Russians, the British, have
had far better systems of intelligence
than have we. and in spite of all our
wealth and power and might we have
been exceptionally weak in psychological
warfare notwithstanding the fact that an
Idea is perhaps the most powerful weapon
-
on this earth.
The pending bill, 1-I. R. 2033, is sub-
stantially the same as H. R. 5871 which
was introduced in the Eightieth Congrese,
unanimously reported by the Senate
Committee on the Lorne(' Servicee, and
passed the Senate. A companion bill
was unanimously reported by the House
Committee on the Armed Services, but
due to lack of time it failed of passage in
the Eightieth Congress.
The purpose of this bill is simply to
give the Central Intelligence Agency au-
thority that is necessary for its proper
administration. It is true that we will
bring in not to exceed 100 persons a year,
but before they are admitted they will be
carefully screened by both the Director
of Central Intelligence and the Attorney
General of the United States. They act
jointly, and it is absolutely essential that
some of the information given to mem-
bers of our committee as was given to
members of the Rules Committee, must
be kept confidential, because it is of a
secret nature-. The FBI does not adver-
tise the movements it makes in the ap-
prehension of a criminal. Our intelli-
gence oMeers to be effective and in their -
own defense as well as the country's
must keep many of their movements
secret. I think it would be supreme folly
for us to discuss every phase and ramifi-
cation of a bill that is of such a highly
confidential nature.
Mr. DURHAM. Mr. Speaker, will the
gentleman yield?
Mr. SHORT. I yield to the gentleman
-from North Carolina.
Mr. DIJP.Iiiiale Did the committee
satisfy itself as to the expenditure of this
fund?
Mr. SHORT. It did, and there is a
definite limitation upon this. We limited
not only the number of persons to be
admitted but also the amount of money
to be expended; however, we are not
telling how, when, where, or to whom
the money will go. We cannot, because
of the very nature of the problem.
I am glad the gentleman from New
York quoted from page 6 of the commit-
tee report because the language itself is
self -eaplanatory. You are going to have
to trust somebody. Mr. Speaker, arid
while perhaps it is asking too much for
you to trust the members of the Com-
mittee on the Armed Services I think
you can 'trust the Committee on Rules
or any other committee of this House.
Both committees mentioned reported
this bill unanimously.
We are engaged in a highly dangerous
business. It is something I naturally
abhor but sometimes you are compelled
to fight fire with fire. There is no other
way out of it so far as I can see and
perhaps the less we say in public about
- this bill the better off all of us will be.

cilities: Provided, That the agency shall have
no police. subpena, Dm enforcement powers.
or internal security functions: Provided fur-
ther, Th4c the departments and other agen-
cies cf the Government shall continue to

departmental intelligence: And provided
further, That the Director of Central Intelli-
gence shall be responsible for protecting In-
telligence sources and methods from unau-
thorized disclosures;
Fourth:
To perform, for the benefit of the existing
intelligence agencies, such additional serv-
ices of common concern as the National Se-
curity Council determines can be more effi-
ciently accomplished centrally;
Fifth
To perform such other functions and duties
related to intelligence affecting the national
security as the National Security Council may
from time to time direct.
Now, what authority is granted in the
proposed legislation? Well, the bill cre-
ates a seal of office for the Central In-
telligence Agency. It extends to it cer-
tain provisions of the Armed Services
Procurement Act of 1947. It permits the
Director to provide for special instruc-
tion and training of agency personnel.
It provides for travel allowances and ex-
penses for agency personnel. It permits
agency personnel to return to the United
States on leave after 2 years of foreign
service. It provides for the payment of
transporting and storing household be-
longings. It provides for the health of
employees overseas by permitting the
payment of travel expenses to the nearest -
, adequate medical facilities when local
medical facilities are inadequate. It pro-
vides for the establishment of first aid
stations at posts overseas. It provides for
physical examinations for all employees.
It provides for transporting the remains
of an employee or a member of his family
who may die while overseas, and it pro-
vides that the agency may recruit foreign
nationals abroad where citizens of the
United States are not available for such
employment. And it provides allowances
for agency employees similar to those
given to State Department Foreign Serv-
ice employees. It also contains other
provisions of greater significance, such as
the authority to transfer and receive
from other Government agencies such
sums as may be approved by the Bureau
of the Eudece for the performance of
any of the agency functions. This is how
the Central Intelligence Agency gets its
money. it has been going on since the
agency was created, and this simply le-
galizes that important function which is
the only means by which the amount of
money required to operate an ef26ient
intelligence service can be concealed.
Likewise, the bill removes certain limita-
tions which exist under provisions of law
which lt the amount of rental that the
agency may pay for its quarters overseas
and the amount of Improvements that it
may mate in such leased facilities. This
makes tense in view of the fact that an
efficient Intelligence agency must be able
to rent adequate facilities regardless of
the value of the property and must be
permitted to make such improvements in
the property as may be necessary g the
s'ifeootoein persamem ? . via
the installation of necessary equipment.
The bill also eliminates the agency from
the requirements of law which result in
the publication of personnel data in the
Ofacial Register of the United Szates, and
exempts the Bureau of the Budget from
the necessity of including in its public
report to the Congress the agency's per-
sonnel strength. This information has
not heretofore been made public and
must, of course, continue not to be made
public, and this merely legalizes such
action.
The most widely publicized feature of
the bill is that with respect to the pro-
vision which provides for the admission.
of 100 aliens for permanent residence in
the United States. This will only be done
when the Director and the Attorney Gen-
eral concur in the admission of such
aliens and will permit the agency to offer
to certain defectors and others the
greatest reward possible In this world
today, residency in the United States.
These people will be carefully screened
and their admission will only be in the
best interests of the United States, and,
furthermore, if at a later date they should
prove undesirable they can be deported..
Another section of the bill provides
that the agency may spend sums made
available to it without regard to pro-
visions of existing law. It also permits
the expenditure of funds for confidential
purposes to be solely accounted for by
certification of the Director. This Is not
unusual. The State Department has
the world without one. It would seem a
little ridiculous to spend one-third of cue
annual budget for Our national defertee
and not grant reasonable monet try stet:I:-
tory and administrative support to tile
agency charged with gathering the as-
telligence information which hes so mocit
to do with the size. of the apprepriatiores
we grant for the strength of cur armed
services.
I might add that this bin wee repoeten
unanimously by tho subcommittee and
unanimously by the full committee.
That there were no dissentine votes is
significant. The records indicating tee
Members who attended the meetings are

Mr. WHERRY. If I may inquire, can
the Senator from Oregon tell us whether
consideration of this bill also is obJected
to on the same basis as the objection to
the bill relative to Crawford, Nebr.?
Mr. MORSE. No. Mr. President, I
have eone into this bill, and it is a good
example of the distinction In principle to
which I have heretofore alluded. In this
els es all the bill proposes to do Is to re-
:iota to the Kellogg Foundation the
property which they sought to turn over
and did turn over to the Federal Govern-
ment for a particular use. The Federal
Government no longer desiring the prop-
erty for that purpose, I think it is per-
fectly proper to return the property to
the Kellogg Foundation. It is not a case
of giving away property that belongs to
all the people of the United States, but
rather returning property turned over to
the Government for a particular use
which the Government no longer wants
to make use of. I have no objection.
There being no objection, the Senate
proceeded to consider the bill, which had
been reported from the Committee on
Amieniture and Forestry with an
amendment on page I, line 7, after the
.word "California", to strike out", which
was eonveyed to the United States acting

ADetreasTrienice: ar CENTRAL INTELLI-
GENCE AGENCY?BILL PASSED OVER,
The bill (H. R. 2663) to provide for the
administration of the Central Intelli-
gence Agency, established pursuant to
section 102, National Security Act of
1547, and for other purpozes, was an-
nounced as next in order.
Mr. TYDINGS, Mr, President, I should
like to make a brief explanation of the
bill. This is a very important bill to
those who are iniintified with the Central
Intelligence Agency. In modern times it
Is necessary to assemble all the informa-
tion that can be obtained concerning our
Own national security and Its relation-
ship to the national security of other
countries. All governments?we might
as well be frank about it?utilize every
reasonable agency they can to assemble
desirable information concerning the ac-
tivities of other governments. Some-
times in some countries men who are
engaged in trying to find out what is
going on lose their lives. They are
caught, held as spies, and liquidated.
They are never heard of again. The bill
does not provide for any new activity,
What it does particularly is to seek to
safeguard information procured by
agents of the Government so that it will
not fall into the hands of enemy coun-
tries or potential enemy countries who
would use the Information to discover
who the agents were, and kill them.
To my certain knowledge, in a certain
area, not many years ago three good
Americans who were trying to serve their
Government by finding out whether the
intentions of another government were
strictly honorable were liquidated. The
men were detected and killed. What the
bill does is to seek to keep their names
and identities out of the normal account-
ing channels, so ? that they cannot be
picked up through the promiscuous dis-
semination of information. That is the
principal point in the bill.
I shall not ask for its immediate con-
sideration. I know there are some Sen-
ators, one of whom is my good friend
and colleague, the Senator from North
Dakota, who wants more time to look
Into it. But I wanted to make this brief
explanation, so that Senators would have
In mind what is in the bill as they con-.
side: it and read it in the future. I shall
be very glad to yield, within the time
limit that is left to me, to answer, If I
can, any question any Senator may de-
sire to raise.
The VICE PRESIDENT. The bin will
be passed over, then.

to the board personnel.. The seeond is -
a reference to broadening the powers, of
the Commodity Credit Corporation I
understand there are objections to the .
personnel of the board as propf,si d in
the bill. It is not necessary, in as opin-
ion, to consider the second onieetive,
which is to give the Coennoilitte Credit
Corporation power to esquire Tntperty
by gift, lease, or otherwise for the cen-
struction of storage factines. In crier
to secure action on the bill if nee ob-
jection runs to the funt feature, the
Personnel of the board, I should be win-

COMMEWDATION OF PHILIP MUrtHAY AND
THE CIO :OR OUSTING COMMUNISTS
Mr. MARTIN. Mr. President, I rise to
express commendation and my personnel
appreciation of the sound action taken by
Philip Murray and the executive commit-
tee of the CIO in recent days. I refer to
the forthright drive to rid that great
labor organization of the Communist
taint in the leadership of some of its
unions.
The CIO has never been on my side.
In fact, it has been one of the most
active of my political opponents.
For my part. I have found fault with
the CIO many times. For years I have
demanded that it purge itself of the
Communist-card carriers and the fellow
travelers who have had such great influ-
ence in its activities. And for years, oe-
cause of this demand, some members of
the CIO have called me a wide variety
of names?none of them pleasant.
I have also criticized the rule-or-ruin
tactics of the CIO, its insistence that
public officials take care of it first, ahead
of the welfare of the public as a whole.
I shall -always object to such ? tactics,
whether they come from labor, industry,
politics, or from any other source, includ-
ing the Federal bureaucrats.
But when Philip Murray and his CIO
do a fine and courageous thing, even
though belatedly; I feel that they should'
be commended and congratulated.
' I hesitated for several days to make
this statement on the ficor of the Senate.
I believed it should and would come from
the CIO's friends in the Senate, those
who have backed its activities, and who
In turn have been the beneficiaries of
PAC votes.
But, oddly enough, none of them has
come forward on this floor to laud that
organization for its increasingly success-
ful fight to get rid of the foul fumes of
communism which pervade some sections
of the CIO.
Since I believe that public recognition
Is due Mr. Murray and the CIO, I have
decided that I should call attention to
their action, rather than let it go un-
noted on the floor of the United States
Senate.
I want to remind the Senate that
Philip Murray, national president of the
CIO and, of its steelworkers, is a Penn-
sylvanian. He is a former coal miner of
my State; in fact, he worked in the coal
mines of Washington County, my own
home county. He rose to his present
eminence by hard work. and full use of
his intelligence. He is and always has.
- been strongly anti-Communist.
What is new and important is that
finally he has been able to rally enough
other leaders or his organization to make
the drive which is presently succeeding.
President, I commend to the
Unitcd States Senate the action of the
CIO board, which met here in Washing-
ton the other day and made clear that it
will no longer tolerate Communists and
Conitnunist sympathizers In high places
?13
roved For
It is appropriate also at this time to
suggest similar action by those bureau-
crats who, willfully or otherwise, have
closed their eyes to the dangers of com-
munism in this country. I recommend
that they face this situation with vigor
and courage, and take such steps as are
necessary to drive out every Communist
who holds a place in our Government.
ADI.MVISTRATION OF crextoosto
GIIZCCE AGENCY
The Senate resumed the conside:ation
of the bill (H. R. 2653) to provide for the
administration of the Central Intelli-
gence Agency, established pursuant to
section 1.02, National Security Act of
1917, and for other purposes.
Mr. TIDINGS. Mr. President, I
should like to make a brief explanation
of the pending bill. It is similar to one
which was passed unanimously by the
Senate at the last session. The bill
presently before us is a House bill which
passed the House of Representatives, as /
recall, by a large favorable vote; I think
there were only about four votes in op-
position to it. It is called the Central
Intelligence Agency bill.
Although this measure may be looked
upon by some persona as of little impor-
tance, in my opinion, for whatever it may
be worth, it is one of the most important -
pieces of legislation which we shall con-
sider in this Congress. I say that for
the reason that it is important that our -
military authorities be completely ad-
vised in regard to what is taking place in
the world, so that they may constantly
make an estimation of the probable dan-
gers which eventually may confront our
country, and of how they may deal with
them.
The bill relates entirely to rdatters
'external to the United States; it has
nothing to do with internal America.
It relates to the gathering of facts and
Information beyond the borders of the
United States. It has no application to
the domestic scene in any manner, shape,
or form.
The work to which the bill relates is
dangerous work. In many localities
where representatives of our Govern-
ment may go in quest of information, if
they are detected they are likely to pay
for their adventuresome spirit with their
very lives. I should say it is not im-
probable?and I am measuring my
words?that many men working for our
government already have paid the su-
preme sacrifice in attempting to gather
information of a nature vital to our
country. Particularly when our soldiers
are stationed abroad in such goodly num-
bers In many countries, and where there
are at times the possibilities of conflict, it.
is important that a variety of useful In-
formation be assembled, in case of need?
not that we are going to use it to make
war, but so that we may use It in the
event war is made upon us, so as to save
the lives of citizens of our country and
even the lives of civilians who are not
citizens of our country, but who might
be in the path of a conflict in which our
own trcopa might eventually be engaged.
This bill has the approval of the State
Department an,1 of the. Department of
Ralee 150271'07111
621'1
military department of the Government.
The bill has been referred to the chair-
man of the Judiciary Committee of this
body, the Senator from Nevada [Mx.
lencCrouvoil who is in charge of cer-
tain phases of activity in our domestic:
scene upon which this measure might
impinge slightly; to wit, the adnissioa
to this country of an immigrant who
would give us valuable informatioo. The
Senator from Nevada has read he biel
and has given Isis written approval of L.
I am available now: to alum: Ques-
tions, insofar as I can, by Senators who
are not members of the committee. who
perhaps would like to have some infor-
mation which I have not covered in this
brief summary. I have no desire to take
up the time of the Senate in an eetensive
analysis of the bill, but I think I have
Indicated enough to show what its ger-
oral purport is and how Important
might be in conceivable CirCUMSt.:,.riCeS to
the safety and the lives of people' in and
Out of uniform in our own country.
Mr. ROBERTSON. Mr. Presideote WILL
the Senator yield?
Mr. TIDINGS. I yield to the ;'.-Ienater
from Virginia.
Mr. ROBERTSON. I should like to
ask the distinguished Senator frase vivre:my-
land whether the program is to sopplant

TIDEIGS. I may say be bill
changes nothing that is not now in exist,-
ence insofar as foreign intelliocace is
concerned. It is already provided in
the Unification -Act that there :hall he
a central intelligence agency charged
with these duties, but unfortunately the
provision is ? couched' in a generality.
and this bill is to give the agency, Irma-
much as we have it anyway, the mechan-
ics so it can be more effective than it
could otherwise be,
. Mr, ROBERTSON. I may say to my
dislinguiskied colleague that I am in fob
.sympathy with the purpose of the bill
and shall gladly support it.
TIDINGS. I say in coriclusioo,
we must always know the size of the ar-
miea of other- countries, we must kru w
-what their air potential is, what Invem
tots they are pursuing, what the people
In a possible enemy country are likely to
think or are likely to do, or how they
are likely to react to a given eircur.aa
stance. We cannot merely take lisa word
always of the governmental atienorities
who are for the moment in charge of
those countries. We have to know tee
real truth, and it is in order to do this
that we have such an agency as this, that
the logistics that flow from this informa-
tion may be always available in the time
of emergency.
Mr. CAIN. Mr. President, will the
Senator yield?

ator from Washington?

Mr. TYDINCS. . eald say that pri-
or to our entry into Woeid War II we were
babes in the woods to a large extent in
this ilead. If we had had then what we
have now it is possible there might have
been a different result at Pearl Harbor.
The information was there, and we
should have had men operating within
the groep who were adverse and hostile
to the United States, working with them,
so they could have told us what were
the intentions of those people who were
under our fag, ostensible citizens, but
who were plotting,- in liaison perhaps
with possible enemies, to destroy the
United States or America. I thank the
Senator for his interruption.
Mr. SALTONSTALL. Mr. President.
will the Senator yield?
Mr. TYDLNGS. I yield to the Senator
from Massachusetts.
Mr. SALTONSTALL. As one who fol-
lowed the bill very closely last year and
was in charee of it, there is but one
thought on which I think the Senator
;night enlarge somewhat. This intelli-
gence agency does no work at all within
the continental United States, except to
assimilate information it receives else-
tvhere. Is not that correct?
Mr. TYDLNGS. The Senator is com-
pletely correct. There is not a single
agent Cf this intelligence agency work-
ing within the United States in any form
of espionage, directly or indirectly. It is
purely and completely and wholly and
singly in the external or foreien field. It
has no connection with the FBI, it is not
under the FBI, it does not do the same
- kind of work as the FBI. Its sole effort is
.
outside the United States.
Mr. SALTONSTALL. Am I correct in
. saying that it does not interfere with
the FBI in any way, shape, or manner?
Mr. TYDINGS. That is correct. It
does not interfere with it in the slightest
degree. Are there any other questions?
If not, I do not. desire to hold the floor,
but I hope the debate will not be too
greatly extended, that we may draw the
Issue, whatever it is, and have the Senate
on record, and I hope, with overwhelm-
ing support.
- The VICE PRESIDENT. The bill is
open to amendment.
Mr. LANGER and Mr. NEELY ad-
dressed the Chair.
The VICE PRESIDENT. The Senator
from North Dakota.
Mr. LANGER. I yield to the Senator
from West Virginia.
Mr. NEELY. I thank the Senator, but
/ want the floor in my own time.
Mr. LANGER. Mr. President. I have
listened with considerable interest to the
Senator from Maryland. I agree with
him that in general the purposes of the
bill are line. I agree with him that it is
one of the most important bills ever to
come upon the Senate floor. But I totally
disagree with him as to two aspects of
the bill. With respect to those aspects of
the bill, I propose to offer amendments
in the hope that we may be able to make
the bill what it ought to be.
First of all, I call attention of the
entire Senate to the report of the House
committee, which, at page 6 thereof.
of the proposed legislation in view of the
fact that much of such information is of
a highly confidential nature.
So, Mr. President, we have a situation
In America wherein the House of Repre-
sentatives passed a bill without having
full and detailed info?etion of the pro-
visions of the bill, without, as a matter of
fact, knowing exactly what the purpose
of thetill was, and so far as / know
Mr. TYDLNIGS. Mr. President, will
the Senator yield?
Mr. LANGER. I decline to yield at this
time. A little bit later, I shall be glad
to yield to the Senator. I say that so far
as I know, it is the first time in the his-
tory either of the House or of the Senate
that any report contained the statement:
The report does not contain a full and
detailed explanation of all of the provisions
of the proposed legislation in view of the
fact that much of such information is of
highly confidential nature.
Mr. President, I ask every Senator, If
he will, to compare the House report
with the Senate report. It will be found
that they are almost identical, with the
exception of the three or four lines which
I have just quoted. In other words, in
the House there were a few Representa-
tives who objected to the bill. By read-
ing the proceedings of the House yes-
terday It became apparent that those
Representatives resented the fact that
they were asked to vote for a bill .which
had not been reported to them in its
entirety, a bill as to which there was
some secret, confidential information
they had not obtained. The result was
that when the Senate Committee on
Armed Services submitted its report
those four lines were eliminated.
What did Ftewe.,eillat lye- Czttra.
chairman of the Hotne. Committee on
the Judiciary, say about the bill? I read
from the debate in the House. on March
7, at page 1935, Mr. Cetteins statement:
Mr. Speaker. although I do not like the
hush-hush business surrounding this bill. X
shall not oppose it. Certainly if the mem-
bers of the Armed Forces Committee can
hear the detailed information to support this
bill, why cannot our entire membership?
Are they the Brahmins and we the untouch-
ables? Secrecy is the answer. What is secret
about the membership of an entire commit-
tee hearing the lurid- reasons? In Wash-
ington three men can keep a secret if two
men die. It is like the old lady who said.
"I can keep a secret but the people I tell it
to, cannot."
I must counter the remarks a the previous
speaker. We have In the bill this very sig-
nificant language "for permanent residence
without regard to their inadmissibility under
the Immigration or any other laws or regu-
lations."
In the first place. if there had not been
a closed rule. I would have made the point
of order to strike out this provision because
it Is exclusively within the province of the
Committee on the Judielary and is not the
business of the Committee on Armed Serv-
ices. The Committee on Armed Services

When men undertake this character
ot work, they take it on the understand-
ing that they may not come back, be--
cause in some cases when they are
- caught they are put to death. We might
as well say that on the floor of the Sen- -
ate. We are dealing with the lives of
. men who are in this service, and for -
that reason there has to be a great deal
of secrecy thrown around the work.
Mr. LANCER. Mr. President, I repeat
what I said at the beginning of my argu-
ment, that I agree fully, completely, en-
tirely. absolutely, and wholly with the
desire to protect the lives of these peo-
ple working for our Government. I be-
hove in national security.
Let me read what Mr. SASSCER said
about the purposes of the bill in the
- House of Representatives. I read from
his statement:
Mr. Speaker, H. R. 2603 is a bill to provide
or the administration of the Central In-
telligence Agency. There have been some
misconceptions as to its purposes. For this
reason. I would like to maize certain broad
statements concerning the bill and its pur-
poses before, discussing it in detail.
The Central Intelligence Agency was es-
tab:is:led as a successor to the Central In-
telligence Group, under the provisions of
section 102 of the National Security Act of
1547.
Now I wish to ask the Senator from
Maryland a question.
Mr. vialIrc.s. 'Will the Senator
. allow me to make an observation, before
he asks the Question?
Mr. LANGER. Certainly.
Mr. TYDINGS. I should like to tell
the Senator that the Senator from Mary-
land was fortunate enough to have a
boyhood friend who had charge of some
of the most difficult and important work
undertaken in this line of activity dur-
ing the war, and I have perhaps heard
more of the ramifications of this service
than any other man in Congress, be-
cause I had the good fortune to sit at
the feet of this particular individual, and
I have heard him tell many things that
happened, and the difficulties en-
countered. So I have a little more con-
cern than I would have, had it not been
for this personal experience. It is only
out of abundant caution, knowing how
little thing disclosed may put an agent
in a very difficult place, that the Senator
from Maryland- has striven to be cau-
tious in what he has said.
Let me say a further word. Suppose
a man is a citizen of country A. Sup-
pose he comes to our representative and
says, "I am a citizen of country A, but
country A does not like your country.
I do like your country. I should like to
work fcr your country." Suppose that
man Is working in some official capacity
in country A. and we employ him, and
get infermatiori we may desire If that
man were to be detected he must know in
datince that he can come to the United
States, that he can escape, and secure
asylum here. Otherwise, on his return,
he will be confronted with the general

dangerous work we will have to give
them the assurance that we will eland
behind them in the event they are
threatened with the loss of their lives if
they are detected while working for our
country.
Mr. LANGER. Mr. President, I agree
with every single word the Senator from
Maryland has said. I repeat, however.
that I agree also weal the distinguished
chairman of the House Committee on .
the Judiciary, Representative CELLEII,
when he said, on the questaca of immi-
gration:
On the question of irmeeigrs.tion they are
given carte elanche. to admit IGO
persons under this paeeicular provision,
which should ba stricken from the bill, or, if
It is not stricken, certain safeguards should
have been added.
Mr. TYDINGS. Mr. President, will the
Senator yield?
Mr. LANGER. I yield.
Mr. TYDINGS. Let rae say to the Sen-
ator from North Dakota that no one can .
come Into this country under the bill ex-
cept with the approval of the Attorney
General, who aiready has supervision
over the immigration laws, and of the
Secretary of Defense. A person cannot
wait to secure a visa when his life is
threatened. A man who undertakes this
dangerous work wants to know that he
can come into the United States on 2
minutes' notice; that he will be Identified
and given asylum here. He will not un-
dertake such work unless he knows that,
If he is detected and wants to flee for his
life, there is an open door into this coun-
try lot which he is risking his life to
serve, and that he will not have to go
through the red nine of securing a visa.
Le; me tell the Senator that every cov-
e-a?era on earth makes provieion of this
sort for men who work in the. secret
service.
Mr. LANGER. Mr. President, again I
assure and reassure and re-reassure the
distinguished Senator from Maryland
that he and I are in complete agreement
on the matter of allowing entry to what-
ever number of persons may be neces-
sary; but, nevertheless. I agree with the
distinguished chairman of the House
Committee on the Judiciary when he
says:
This particular provision ? ? ? should
be stricken from the bill. or, if it is not
stricken, certain safeguards should have been
added.
Sectton 8 does not protect the people of
the United States from having a group
of Communists or Fascists, or whatever
they may be, come into this country.
Section 8, which in a proviso permits the
entry of 100 persons a year, provides:
Whenever the Director and the Attorney
General shall determine that the entry of
a particular alien Into the United States for
? permanent residence is in ties interest of
national security or essential to the further-
ance of the national Intelligence mission,
such alien and his immediate family shall
be given entry into ties United States for
permanent residence without regard to their
inadmessibility under the 1? --i'gration or
any other laws and re3uiations, or to the
failure to comply with such laws and regula-
tions pertaining to admissibility.

Mr. LANGER. / would do exactly as
the chairman of the House Committee on
the Judiciary, Representative CELLER,
said we should do. lie suggested the way
safeguards should be placed around us.
Mr. TYDINGS. What are they?
Mr. LANGER. I would call in the Di-
rector of Immigration and Naturalization
and ask him what is necessary to be done
In order to carry out the committee's
recommendations. The Armed Services
Committee did not do that. There are
no safeguards contained in the bill at
present.
Mr. Typixes. Oh, yes; the Attor-
ney General and the man who is charged
with securing the information to safe-
guard the United States of America cer-
tainly are not going to let come into the
country someone who wants to do harm
to the United States of America. The
trouble is that Mr. CELLER is looking
upon this sort of activity practiced by
all governments as if it were a regular,
open, above-board, orthodox, give-and-
take procedure. This is one of the
things which ought not to be practiced
by any government, but which every
government has to practice in self-de-
fense. It is somewhat like war. No
country ought to make war. A war is
the most outrageous crime human be-
ings have ever put then ees to. But
so long as people are tn. - to make
war on us we have to - , protect
ourselves. That is te . _ ...hy of the
bin. The lives of our men overseas in
many- cases depend on this bill having
enough elasticity to it so it can serve the
purposes of the security of the country
without any undue delay. It may be the
Senator's son or my son or someone else's
son who is dependent upon the infor-
mation wench the Central Intelligence
Agency will assemble for the protection
o! our troops.
Mr. IneafGER. Mr. President. we are
not at war at the present time. Repre-
sentative Czeeza yields to no man in
patriotism. I have known "M z"
CELLER for over 30 years. For 24 years
he has been a Member of the House.
For 24 years he has been a member of
the Committee on the Judiciary of the
House. When "Meenter" Cateea says
there ought to be safeguards placed in
the law before 100 aliens are permitted
to come into the country. I take the word
of Representative CELLER, the chairman
of the House Committee on the Judiciary,
He is an outstanding patriot. He is an
honest gentleman, with a world of
experience.
Mr. TYDINGS. Mr. President, will
the Senator yield?
Mr. LANGER. I yield.
Mr. TYDINGS. I should like to say
that I have served with Mr. CELLER in
the Haire of Representatives. I be-
came a Member of the House of Repre-
sentatives and Mr. CELLER became ee
Member of the House of Representatives
in 1022. My relations with him and af-
fection for him and respect for him are
of the very highest order. 'What I say
Is said with no re:lc...et:on on him. But
when the he'. pn.sned thP 6104 pfa?
A p
vote was 343 in favor of the bill and only
4 against the bill. Let me say to the
Senator that if this had been an immi-
gration matter per se Mr. CELLER would
have secured 343 votes in support of his
position, and only 4 votes would have
been against his position. This is not
an immigration matter. It has nothing
to do with immigration per se. This is
asylum for military agents who are work-
ing for the United States, and who are
faced with death if they are caught. We
simply tell them in advance that if the
Director who employs them, and the At-
torney General, who is detached from the
Director, approves it. if they are detected
and their lives are in danger they may
come into the United States. After that,
they are just the same as anyone else.
They have no immunities or privileges.
Mr. LANGER. Mr. President, the ar-
gument that this bill has nothing to do
with immigration Is the sheerest non-
sense. Again I quote Mr. Cztazn. At
the end of his talk he said:
? I have spoken briedy to advise the Armed
Services Committee to stick to Its own knit-
ting. When immigration Is Involved, let the
proper committee be consulted?the Judi-
ciary Committee.
That is the statement of a man who
has been a Member of the House for 24
years.
Mr. President, I Invite attention to
page 7 of the bill, subparagraph (B).
which reads as follows:
While in the continental United States on
.leave, the service of any ofileer or employee
shall be available for work or duties In the
Agency or elsewhere, but the time of such
work or duties shall not be counted as leave.
The services of such ocer or employee
are not to be used in this country. This
bill deats with activities outside con-
tinental United States.
Mr. TYDINGS. That is correct,
Mr. LANGER. If that be true, would
the distinguished Senator be willing to
accept an amendment in line 4 on page 7,
after the word "shall" to insert the word
"not" and strike out lines 6 and 7?
Mr. TYDINGS. Will the Senator read
the language as it would then be?
Mr. LANGER. It would read:
While in the continental United States
on leave, the service of any ofacer or employee
shall not be available for work or duties
In the agency or elsewhere.
Mr. TYDLNGS. I would accept that
amendment with one qualification, and
that is that they can receive training
here. If the Senator will exclude train-
ing, if his language is broad enough so
that training and indoctrination are not
Included as work, I shall be delighted to
accept the amendment. I do not want to
tie up the situation so that when they get
to the United States they cannot receive
any training or indoctrination. They are
working then, but they are not working
on espionage in the United States.
Mr. LANGER. Again I agree with the
Senator from Maryland 100 percent.
Mr. TYDINGS. Let us adopt language
which will accomplish that purpose.
Mr. LANGER. I have the amendment

Mr. LANGER. I .am delighted to Ls-

He could not even go to the central

In the House the claim was made that
when these men come back they will be
used to break up labor unions. I do not
believe it.
Mr. TYDINGS. Let me tell the Sen-
ator how that foolish idea originated.
Let us assume that a laboring man is
a part of this organization, and that we
want to send him over to Germany for
example. Let us assume that he speaks .
German. He may never have had any
affination with a labor union. He is go-
ing to associate with men both in and out
of labor unions. Obviously he would
have to be sent where labor unions meet
and discuss questions, and where they act,
so that he could get the feel of the situa-
tion. and so that he would not be like a
sore thumb sticking out when he reached
a toreiga country. He would need to

labor-union men, in order that he might
be an efficient, undisclosed officer gath-
ering information, without any idea on
the part of those who would give it, that
the information was being imparted to
our Government.
Mr. LANGER. I fully agree with what
the distinguished Senator says.
Mr. TYDINGS. I do not believe that
the Senator can improve very much on
the bill. The very questions which he
has brought up have been thoroughly
canvassed and considered by the com-
mittee. The exact language which we
have accepted has been adopted as safe-
guarding our internal affairs while giving
the widest scope to the agents in the
' external field.
Mr. LANGER,. The Senator may be
man who comes along to carry on the
task from that point.
I have already said much more in this
debate than should be disclosed. I think -
this debate is unfortunate. I think it
ought to be in executive session. I think
there is a great deal of meat in what
must be said here in order to get the
bill through, which is serving those who
are not friends of the United States.
This is one time when there ought to be
secrecy. The whole atmosphere of the
bill is secrecy. I regret that in answer to
the Senator's questions I have been
forced to disclose as much as I have dis-
closed. We are not serving the United
States or the brave men who are going
forth under all kinds of difficulties to
help to place the security of our .Nation
beyond peradventure.
Mr. LANGER. Mr. President, I yield
to no man, including the distinguished -
Senator from Maryland, in patriotism.
However. I will never stand on this floor
with a report and say, "We are not re-
porting everything to this body which
should be reported. We are keeping
some of it back." The time has not yet
come, during a period when we are not at
war, when we cannot discuss any bill
upon the floor of the Senate. So long as
I am a Member of this body, whenever
any proposal for appropriations is
brought before us, or a bill to draft the
boys from the farms, or any other kind
of bill. I will not stand idly by and say,
"We cannot discuss it."
Mr. TIMINGS. Mr. President, will the
Senator yield?
Mr. LANGER. I yield.
Mr. TYDINGS. Does the Senator
think we ought to tell how many men we
have in this service?
Mr. LANGER. I did not ask the Sena-
tor any such question.
Mr. TIDINGS. Does the Senator
think we ought to tell their names and
ages?
Mr. LANGER. The Senator knows
very well that I did not ask such a ques-
tion.
Mr. TYDINGS. It might be pertinent
Information.
Mr. LANGER. It might be; but I have
not leaked such foolish questions.
When it comes to creating an agency,
I see no harm in seeing to it that the
wording of the bill is right. I for one
am not going to take any chances with-
out a protest, even though I vote alone,
against the establishment of a Gestapo
In the United States by which people may
be hounded and harassed by a central
bureau, or by anyone else.
- I know the fine mind of the Senator
from Maryland, and I know what a big
heart he has. I know how patriotic he
Is. He is one of the few Members of this
body who has received the highest medal
that it is possible for a man in the
United States to get.
Mr. TYDINGS. Mr. President, will the
Senator yield?
The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. Ha-
aatrerst in the chola) Does the Scnato
from North Dakota yield to the Senato
from Maryland?
Mr. LANGER. I yield.
Dar TanaInreS. I e.,aal to ray torn
correct?
Mr. 77.arNos. We have been all over
this question in great detail. Witnesses
have been interrogated at great length.
The hearings have been extensive. We
have considered every phase of the prob-
lem. The Senator has not heard the
testimony. Neither has Mr. CELLER,
He did not attend one of the hearings?
and properly so, because he was not sup-
posed to attend them.
? Mr. LANGER. The Senator's argu-
ment sounds very strange to me, after
the experiences which I have had on
committees. For example, take the pay
bill. After more than a month of hear-
ings last year. although the distinguished
Senator from Maryland and some of his
colleagues were not present at the hear-
ings, they offered amendment after
amendment. What is there sacred about
this bill.* that it cannot be amended?
It is the same as any other bill. I think
I have a good amendment.
Mr. TYDINGS. Mr. President, will
the Senator yield? -
Mr. LANGER. I yield.
Mr. TYDINGS. Let me say to my
friend from North Dakota that there is
a great deal of difference between
amending a pay bill and dealing with an
extremely sensitive and secretive func-
tion of Government which has to do with
the lives of men, not in wartime, but in
peacetime. When we find that a man
who has undertaken this work has not
renurneci, but has been destroyed, we are
ense eoeees t.,) de, seirrietinirtf which
kota?and I hope he will forgive me I
appear a bit vain in what I am ataxia to
say?that military and scieniific dee et-
opments have reached such wide ra.ai-
fications today that it, is not lways ea-
sible to give to the Senate t ee dete_led
Information in regard to teeny tniaes
which we would be delighted tr give ti
Senate or to have Senators also are not
on the committee know if they could
come to the hearings where Ise: hear .nose
things.
My reactions were exactIr the same
as those of the Senator from Moth
Dakota when I trst approached tine
bill. But if my jticasment is worth :nil..
thing?and in making this Ante:tent I
am carefully measuring rnywords?e eosa
Senators to knoat that in ray opiesor.
this bill is carefully worked out. :Lao y
safeguard which could possibly be yam
Into it without destroying its puroane
has been put into it. Our torranittee is
unanimous about the bill, not la cease,.
we are in favor of espionage, for we 4r.;
opposed to it, but because we bete it
will not occur.
So I hope the Senator from North Da-
kota will not suggest the am :.ndareente
has indicated, because in my judeme.nt
they would do the bill mor.? harm thaa
any good whatsctver which they could
possibly do.
Mr. LANGER. If we leave paragraph
(B) the way it is, it would do the Cmaltly
a great deal of harm. It not.: read,:
(B) While in the continental UnItee f,t.atos
on leave, the service of any ?facer or err,...,i,fyfe

agency or elsewhere?
And so forth. Mr. President. my dis-
tinguished friend, the Senator Irma
Maryland, has not had the experience

TIDINGS. Mr. President, well
the Senate: yield?
The PRESIDING OFFICER. Does the
Senator from North Dakota yield to the
Senator front Maryland?
Mr. LANGER. I yield.
Mr. TIDINGS. Of course, the Sen-
ator from North Dakota appreciates that
1, as chairman of the committee, could
not accept the amendment without
breaking faith with the other members
of the committee, who have not author-
ized me to do so.
I would say to the Senator from North
Dakota that, as he has finally modified
the amendment, he has made it a great
deal more palatable. I cannot vote for
It, but perhaps the Senate will agree with
the point of view of the Senator from
North Dakota. I hope the Senate will
not. because I do net think the amend-
ment is rieeewa:T. But I say that the
Senator from North Dakota has made
the amendment much more palatable
now than it formerly was.
Mr. LANGER. Mr. President, I wish
the Senator from Maryland would ac-
cept the amendment, because it is fun-
damentally right.
Me. TIDINGS. Mr. President, I say to
the Senator from North Dakota that I
should like to have him repeat the
amendment.
Mr. LANGER. Certainly. It is as
follows:
wirme in the continental United States on
leave, the service of any officer or employee
shall net be available for work or duties
except in the agency or for training or for'
reorientation for work; and the time of such
. work or duty shall not be counted as leave.
Mr. TIDINGS. Mr. President, I will
take the amendment to conference. Of
course, I do not like to be a party to any
deception and I point out now that the
amendment is new. It is worthy of
thought. The Senator from North Da-
kota has made a real effort to interweave
his philosophy with the exigencies and
dangers involved in this whole proposi-
tion.
I will not promise that the amend-
ment -e" come out of conference; but
the Senator from Maryland will do his
best to see to it that the amendment re-
ceives adequate consideration along the
lines the Senator from North Dakota has
mentioned.
Mr. LANGER. Mr. President, I am
very grateful to the Senator from Mary-
land.
Now let me ask about section 8. What

of Mr. Ceeeza? I refer now to section 8

The PRESIDING OFFICER. Will the

Ce:air 1,o interrupt long enough to ask
whether a vote is to be taken on the
amen-eh:ert whie.h airesely has Leen
states:.
Mr. tineDeNGS. lIr. Preeident, the
Senator from North Dakota has not yet
offeree the amendment. I hope he will
offer his first amendment now, to that we
may dispose of it.
Mr. LANGER.. Mr. President, at this
time I offer the following amendment to
the pending measure: On page 7. strike
out lines 3 to 7, inclusive, and substitute
the following:
While in the continental United States on
leave, the service of any cff.cer or employee
shall not be available for work or duties ex-
cept in the agency or for training or for re-
orientation for work; and ?the time of such
work or duty shall not be counted as leave.
Mr. TIDINGS. Mr. President, I ac-
cept it. with the understanding that I will
take the Senator's amendment to con-
ference, if it is adopted, to: further con-
sideration, hut that I do not feel bound
to insist upon it if in the light of further
consideration I feel that we cannot take
It; but I accept it in good faith, and will
attempt to see that it is given every con-
sideration in line with the Senator's phi-
losophy. ?
Mr. LANGER. Mr. President,
let me say that I am very grateful to the
Senator from Maryland.
Mr. TIDINGS. Mr. President, I ask
for a vote on the amendment.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. The
Question is on agreeing to the amendment
of the Senator from North Dakota.
The amendment was agreed to.
Mr. TIDINGS. Mr. President, let me
inquire about the other amendment the
Senator from North Dakota has in mind.
Mr. LANGER. I have in mind an
amendment to section 8, an page 12. I
would offer an amendment to it.
Mr. TIDINGS. I am afraid I cannot
accede to that.
Mr. LANGER. I was going to suggest
that somewhere in that provision we
could insert the safeguards which Mr.
CELLIR requested, perhaps included the
words "shall be provided by the Bureau of
Immigration."
Mr. TIDINGS. Of course, that comes
under the Attorney General. The Bureau
of Immigration is under the Attorney
General's Ofece under the new Reorgan-
ization Act.
Mr. LANGER. That is correct.
Mr. TIDINGS. If the Senator from
North Dakota would like me to add:
Whenever the Director and the Attorney
General or the head of the Bureau of
Immigration.
I would be inclined to go that far, in
order that the Immigration authorities
might he put directly on notice.
Mr. LANGER. Does the Senator from
htee-eend d changing that to read
"or ender re:es and reeethe:ione provided
by the Bureau of Immigration"? ?
Mr. TIDINGS. I do not think that
could be done, for the considerations in-
volved would be so divergent.
But I think the Bureau of Immigration

castrated that it Was rather Imperative
that he be permitted to come in.

What the amendment does Is simply to

Mr. =DINGS. Would the Senator
like to have my explanation of that?
Mr. MelO,Z.LLAR. I doubt the wisdom
of that provision. The Committee on
Appropriations appropriates specifically
? for every department of the Government.
It has been found to work extraordinarily
well. I am in favor of the bin; I am
not opeesed to it, but I think it would be
safer and better--
Mr. TYDINGS. Would the Senator
like roe to tell him why that language is
written into the bill?
Mr. McXELLAR. Yes, I would.
Mr. TYDINGS. If this were a normal
function of the Government, like, for in-
stance, building a bridge, or buying an
airplane, or providing for reforestation,
or for the construction of a clam, the
Senator's observation would be a very
good one. But let me tell the Senator
that tire men who work In this particular
field frequently lose their lives. As a
matter of fact, to the certain knowledge
..of the Senator from Maryland, several
have already. lost their lives, and not
under very pretty circumstances, because,
quite often, if they are deleted, they
are forced to tell why they are there,
and the picture is not a pretty one. If
there are vouchers containing the names
and the circomstances, going through
Government channels, it might he pos-
sible for foreign-espionage agents to
che.ch on who the agents are through
every conceivable source of information.

The bill (H. R. 2633) was read the third
time and passed.
P.EcinelOcAL ;RADE AGREESSZNT POLICY
Mr. 'MALONE. Mr.' President, when
the 1634 Trade Agreements Act comes
before the Senate for the proposed 3-year
extension, I intend to offer the flexible
import-fee bill, which I am today placing
before this body as a substitute policy.
I ask unanimous consent to introduce the
flexible import-fee bill, and to have it
printed In the body of the RECORD. The
Import-fee principle establishes
a clear-cut American policy which would
provide a definite basis for cooperation
among the nations of the world and a -
definite market for foreign goods in this
country.
THEM-Mar '"FREE ?S'?mom=
As a result of the administration's
three-part "free trade" program, under
which we are openly encouraging a large
Increase in imports from the European
countries and urging them to become
self-sur.lcient within and among them-
selves and to manipulate the price of
their currency for trade advantage?
many believe that this Nation is heading
into a serious depression.
? FRTE T.TLADE AND UNEMPLOYMENT
It is reported that there are more than
4,000,600 unemployed at this time and
probably in excess of 10,000,060 partially
unemployed in this country due princi-
pally to actual and threatened Imports
of products from the low-wage standard
of living European and Asiatic nations.
nee; sem: MARX= OS FORV.GINI GOODS
Under the proposal of the flexible im-
port fee adjustment of rates, a definite
market basis is established in the United
States for the goods of all foreign na-
tions, but they are the Judges of their
own living standards. However, under
such a provision they would be en-
couraged to raise their wage living
standards because they would immedi-
ately get credit by a corresponding re-
duction in the tariff or import fee, and
when their standards of living approxi-
mated our own, then the obllective of free
. trade would be an almost automatic and
immediate result. But in the meantime,
our wage standard of living would be
protected.
11,..7CMLE rsisoar F VERSES "raED TaADE"
This principle is in direct contrast to
the free trade program of the State
Department, and all subterfuge, includ-
ing a manipulation of their currency
values and selling under actual costs by
such foreign governments to crowd an-
other nation's products out of the for-
eign markets, including our own?as evi-
denced by a New York Times dispatch
dated 2,1e.y 21 or this year?will be auto-
matically stopped by the adoption of the
flexible Import fee principle.
Mr. President, I ask unanimous con-
sent to have the dispatch printed in the
body of the RfidOsa at this point.

then, it is an open secret that Government

the dollar shortage and trade deficits abroad.
Import barriers ranging from antiquated
customs procedure to excessively high prices
abroad In the face of a declining price trend
here have been cited as the major obstaclea
to the larger :raper; volume that is felt nec-
essary to reduce the export "gap," which
exceeded $5,0e0,0'0.000 last year.
Foreign trade experts have calculated that
if business conditions and national income
continue favorable here, the United States
could absorb S.10,000,000.000 In imports from
all parts or the world. This optimum figure,
buttressed by American investment and
tourist spending abroad, it is believed, would
support and pay for a 'nigh level of American
exports.
It compares with about $7,000,000,000 in
Imports for 1943.
71E-S7. QUAETT.R rAirOaTS
For the first quarter of 1940, imports were
close to the 1913 level for the same period.
Doubt appeared to be rising, however, that
total Imports in 1049 will materially exceed
1048 figures, wills much depending on busi-
ness conditions here.

some remarks to that portion of the de-

$14,000,000 has been provided, by Senate
amendment to the bill H. R. 4049. I

Mr. HUMPHREY. Tne_ President, I
should like to make a few remarks jim
reference to an amendment I deeire to
offer. I oiler the amendment at thie
time, in line 1, page 4, to strike iint the
"e14,000,000" and insert in lieu thereof
"916,000,000." I wish to address myself
to the amendment.

The LEGISLaTIVE Ctzax. On pante 4. Ia
line 1, it is proposed to strike otn. "$14,-
000,000", and insert "$19,000.000."
Mr. HUMPHREY. The Government
of the United States and other eovern-
snouts have made at least tentative com-
mitments to assist in the relief and re-
habilitation of some 805.000 citizens cf
the Arabian countries who han been
displaced because of the international
situation which has occurred in iionnee-
ton with the creation of the Etate of
Israel. As we all knoll there was a rec-
ommendation and authorization of 816,-
000,000 adopted by the Congress, and
now the task is to appropriate the money
to fulfill the authoritation. It is my
considered judgment that we hene now
an opportunity fully to support the en-
forts being made by the United Nations
for the relief of a Very unhappy and
tragic .situation in the Near East. Here
Is an opportunity to deal with a very
delicate situation in the Near East which
has often been referred to as one of the
kegs of dynamite or powder keg a in the
International situaticin. Furthermore.
as a government we have made certain
promises to other members of the United
Nations and I think it is very important
that we fulfill those promises.
There has been established a special
commission of the United Nations, known
as the United Nations Relief foe Pelee-
tine Refugees. This United Nations a:-
ganization has set as an objective a fund
of some $32,000,000, of which the United
States was to be asked for $16.000,000.
I think it should be noted that approxi-
mately $13,000,000 of the $16,000,000
which other countries. are conunitted
laas already been subscribed, or is in
the process of being stibscribed. I real-
ize that $14,000,000 is a very cainerone
contribution on the part of our niovern-
srient, but those who have testified in
reference to the tragic situation in the
Near East and the large number of dti-
placed?persons in that area, tell us the:.

249), to diminish the causes of labor dis-
putes burdening or obstructing interstate
and foreign coerce, and for other pur-
poses, which had been reported from the
Committee on Labor and Public Welfare
with amendments.
Mr. LUCAS. Mr. President, as every-
one knows, this is the bill commonly
known as the bill to repeal the Tart-
Hartley law. There will be no considera-
tion given to it this afternoon. As I
stated yesterday, the Senate will take a
recess until -Monday next.
Mr. INHETIRY. Is it contemplated '
that House bill 4016, the bill making
appropriations for the Departments of
State. Justice, Cornmarce, and the Ju-
diciary, will be considered, probably, on
Monday?
Mr. LUCAS. I cannot advise the Sen-
ator definitely, but obviously as we move
along with the labor bill, consideration
of which will probably require a couple
of weeks, we may have to sandwich in
between the appropriation bill and some
other bills.
Mr. WHERRY. I make that inquiry.
because some Senators are anxious to
know what. :s proposed to be done with
respect to the appropriation bill.
Mr. LUCAS. I cannot say definitely.
It is possible that we might take up the
appropriation bill on Monday afternoon,
but I do not think very many Senators
will be away from the Senate Chamber
or at least they will not be very far away
from the Senate Chamber when the labor
bill is being debated.
Mr. WaIERRY. Mr. President, will the
Senator yielst for a question?
Mr. LUCAS. I yield.
Mr. WHERRY. A motion has been
agreeil to to take up the proposed repeal
of the Taft-Hartley Act. Does that sup-
plant the unfinished business?
Mr. LUCAS. There was no unfinished
business.
Mr. WHERRY. I thought the unfin-
ished business was the reciprocal trade
agreements bill.
Mr. LUCAS. No. That was displaced
some days ago when a motion was made
- and agreed to consider another bill.
. Mr. WHERRY. The labor bill is, then,
the unfinished business?
Mr. LUCAS. The Senator is correct.
Mr. THYE. Mr. President, may I in-
quire whether the Senate has received
the conference report on the Commodity
Credit Corporation bill?
Mr. LUCAS. It has been received and
agreed to.
Mr. THYE. I was called to the tele-
phone. I know that the Senate was
awaiting receipt of the conference com-
mittee report. I have just returned to
the Chamber. Before the Senate takes a
recess I wish to make inquiry about
. what has happened.
Mr. LUCAS. That demonstrates how
expeditiously the Senate can transact
busine.ss eon:en:nes.
Mr. THYE. I appreciate that. I am
sure that I speak for all the agricultural
Interests in the Nation when I say that
they are. very happy that the Ccenesodtty

Mr. WHERRY. Mr. President, I am
sure the distinguished majority leader
does not mean to convey the idea that
We can transact business faster when
the Senator from Minnesota is absent
from the Chamber than we can when he
Is present. [Laughter.)
Mr. THYE. I am certain that the
Senator from Illinois did not intend any
such meaning by his statement.
Mr. LUCAS. The distinguished Sen-
ator from Minnesota is one of the most
cootie-retire. men I know. I 'nave served
with him for a r --ber of years on the
Co---ittee on Agriculture and Forestry,
and I always appreciate his counsel and
advice.
Mr. TEYE. I am very grateful to the
Senator from Illinois for those remarks.
POSTMASTER
Mr. LUCAS. Mr. President, as in
executive session. I ask unanimous con-
sent for the present consideration of the
nor"-etion of a Postmaster on the
Executive Ca.enclar.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without
objection, it is so ordered. The nomina-

The legislative clerk read the nomi-

master at Dayton, Ohio.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without
objection, the nomination is confirmed
and, without objection, the President will
be notified.
F.EcEss TO MONDAY
Mr. LUCAS. I move that the Senate

from Utah may yield, without losing the

4 dees ago.

tem?
Mr. WHERRY. Mr. President, reserv-
ing the right to object, do I correctly
eraelerstand the Senator from Maryland
to stete that the Senate viewpoint was

brief statement respecting tha report.
Mr. TYDINGS. Mr. President, the
Senate will recall that at the instance of
the Senator from North Dakota [Mr.
Laacza], two small amendments of in-
terpretation - were placed in the bill.
One was for the purpose of providing a
wider check on immigration; the other
conned the activities of the organiza-
tion to external matters, The House
adopted both amendments, which the
Central Intelligence Agency was happy
to approve, because the purposes sought
by the amendments had originally been
intended to be included.
Mr. WHERRY. That is all that Isar).-
volved?
Mr. TYDINGS. Yes.
Mr. WHERRY. The Senate's view-
point was adopted by the House?

tal United States on leave should be available
for wrnl: brduties In the agency or elsewhere.
The Senate amendment provided that officers
OC employees of the Agency who are in the
continent. Untied States on leave should be
available for work or duties only In the
Agency or for training or for reorientation
for work. The conference agreement adopts
the provisiens of the Senate amendment.
Amendments Nes. 2 and 3: The House bill
pro7ided that whenever the Director of the
Central Intelligence Agency and the Attorney
General should determine that the entry of
a paricular alien into the United States for
pernianant residence Is in the interest of
national security or essential to the further-
ance of the national Intelligence mission,
such alien and his immediate family could
be given entry Into the United States for per-
manent residence without regard to their
inadmissibility under the Immigration or any
other laws and regulations and without re-
gard to their failure to comply with such
laws and regulations pertaining to admissi-
bility. The House bill limited the number
of aliens admissible under such authority to
not more than 100 in any one fiscal year.
The efftct of Senate amendments Nos. 2 and
3 was to add. the Commissioner of Immigra-
tion to the officials who would determine
what aliens should be admitted under this
authority. The conference agreement
adopts the Senate amendments.

Mtnagcrs on the Part of the House.
Mr. SASSCER. Mr. Speaker. I yield 2
minutes to the gentleman from New York
sane asaacesieoisiol.
Mr. MARCANTONIO. Mr. Speaker,
:this bill originally came before the House
under the suspension of the rules proce-
dure. At that time I pointed out in my
opposition to the bill that in the report
accompanying the bill, there was a state-
ment to the effect that, not all of the
provisions of this bill would be explained
to the itiembers of Congress. We were
presented with a most extraordinary sit-
uation. The House voted to pass this
hush-hush bill, despite the fact that all
of its provisions had not been explained
and would not be explained to the mem-
bership. I stated then that this bill was
subversive of our Bill of Rights. The
Senate amendments have not cured that.
The eneation with respect to elementary
democracy, as it is endangered by this
bill, remains the same. I opposed the
bill then, and I have opposed this bill at
every step, and I oppose it, now in its final
stage.
In the last analysis, Mr. Speaker, the
security of this Nation rests on the
strength of its democratic institutions.
Thie bill undermines those democratic
hisntecns. It substitutes for our con-
Sienna-Mai guaranties a Gestapo system.
It is being sold to the country by hysteria,
and it is heir.; imposed on the people as
preparation for a war which the Ameri-
can peop:e do not want. Mr. Speaker. I
shall vote against the adoption of the
conference report. "
Mr. SASSC.:ER. Mr. Speaker, I yield
3 minutes to the gentleman from Penn-
sylvania Mr. Weerreic).
Mr WALTER. Mr. Speaker, I ask
unanimous consent to proceed out of or-
der.
? The SPEAKER. Is there objection to
the request of the gentleman from Penn-
sylvania?
There was no objection.
Mr. WALTER. Mr. Speaker, in a
colloquy which took pace in the other
body several days ago a Senator in-
quired of another Senator as to the
reason why the Attorney Ge.ncrars
reZOMMendatiGn pertaining to suspen-
sion of deportation was not being acted
on in the House. The reply was that
the House was riot eoing along with the
policy of the Senate. The feet of the
matter is that under existing law where
the Attorney General suspends the
deportation of an alien under section
19 (c) of the Immigration Act of 1917,
as amended, it is incumbent on each
body to review the action thus taken,
and unless each body affirmatively ap-
proves of such suspension of deporta-
tion, then the deportation is proceeded
with. At the last session of the Con-
gress our distinguished colleague, the
gentleman from Maine 1Mr. Fseaows)
Introduced legislation which had the
purpose of . giving each body the au-
thority to review the action taken by -
the Attorney General, but did not make
It incumbent on the House as well as the
Senate to act affirmatively. The House
of Representatives at this session passed
practically the same bill. In ar. Informal
conference attended by the ranking
members of both sides of the Committee
on the Judiciary, it was agreed that
either bcdy would have the authority to
object to the Attorney General's ruling
but thet neither body would be obliged
to act affirmatively. The Senate is
adamant in its position, but my bill,
H. R. 3375, similar to the Fellows bill
of last year, is now ,ending in theSenate
Committee on the Judiciary. Recently
I suggested a compromise amendment
to this bill and I sincerely hope that
the other body will brine about its early
passage, thus helping to break the log-
jam. We want te retain the power to
object to the Attorney General's rulings,
but the House does not want to be obli-
gated to act affirmatively on nearly 2,000
cases per session. Certainly it seems to
me that Members of Congress, both of
the House and Senate, should know what
the real situation is.
Mr. VORYS. Mr. Speaker, will the
gentle? e yield?
Mr. WALTER. I yield.
Mr. VOP.YS. This may rio's be on the
same subject, but I wanted to know
whether there Is a practice now to stay
deportations in cases where bills are
Introduced. I understand there was a
practice for many years, but that prac-
tice is no longer followed by the immi-
gration authorities.
The SPEAKER. The time of the gen-
tleman from Pennsylvania has expired.
Mr. SASSCER. Mr. Speaker, I yield
the gentleman three additional minutes.
Mr. WALTER. The Committee on
the Judiciary 2 years ago, when our
distinguished colleague the gentleman
from Michigan (Mr. Mx:le:real was
chairman of the committee, reviewed the
practice of staying deportations where
a bill was introduced, and it was decided
that unless the Member who 1i-erode:cies'
the bill requested a hearing. and we se
notified the Immigration Service. the
proceedings would continue. It. was mete
in those cases where it was apnasent that.
the Member intended to vigoroutly press
for the enactment of the legis-
lation that deportation would he stayeo.
However, that Is not :the practiec in the
other body. There it is necesemse Gees
to Introduce a bill in order to stay de-
portation. Incidentally, there have been
a number of cases where the leouse ees
refused to Intercede. encl even after bila.
have been introduces; and uteavorao,e
acted upon by our committee, a Senator
has introduced a bilL and the deports -
ton of sonic alien wbo, in the judgment
of the House Judiciary Commissee ought
to be deported, has been stayed.
Mr. IvIcCON,MACK. Mr. Speaker, vn I i
the gentleman yield?
Mr. WALTER. I yield.
Mr. MeCORIVIACK. Of coosse. whea
you introduce these.bills, it tekes quite
a long time to have reports received frona
the appropriate agencies. That is co:-
rot, is it not?
? Mr. WALTER. Yes.
Mr. MoCORIVIACII. I do know that di
has created si rather compromising site
uation for Member of the Reuse who
have introduced a btu to know that that
of itself does not stay the deportation
until an opportunity has bee.a had to
receive reports sought and heaiengs heen
Mr. WALTER. t do not think C:41
gentleman is correct in that, because. if
a bill is introduced and a request is rreile
of the Judiciary Committee, then Inc
committee notifies the Irnmig; ation arid
Naturalization Servfee., and all proceed-
ings are stayed until action has hi-en
taken on the bill. -
Mr. IVIeCORIVIACK. I am glad to hear
that, because that, clarifies in honest
misapprehension that existed in my
mind and must have existed in the minds
of other Members. We all have rola-
munica.tions on this: subject at some tiree
or another, perhaps two or three times
year, and, frankly; I have ivritten to
friends of mine stating that while I would
be glad to introduce a private bill erei
submit it to the committee, and I Mese
asked them to give me the evidence in
affidavit form to present to the subcom-
mittee, that they had better get some-
body on the other side to introduce a bill
to get a stay of deportation. It has ban
rather embarrassing. From now on I
will utilize the information ihe gentle-
man has given rite. and relieve that tee-
barrassment to which I have been silo-
jected.
The SPEAKER. The time of the gea-
tleman from Pennsylvania has again
expired.
Mr. SASSCER. Mr. Speaker, I yield
myself 3 minutes.
