that's why if i were you, i would take a look at what charlie smith says and harry wilson.s particular congressperson. it is making the rational case, if you can, in the communities, why this is important to get done. and i think the fact that i didn't get everything now at this moment, for example, a lot of our pieces did not get past. we are coming back at it, though. we are coming back at it. we are going to make the case. and as i make the case to the public at large, one thing i can say for all of you, you do accurately report what i say. the problem is i disappoint you because i can't answer all of your questions and negotiate with you before i negotiate with my colleagues. but i really think the public understands, and they are seeing the proof is in what's happening. it is not projected our economy is going to grow about 7% this year. projections from wall street to the fed is it is going to continue to grow. we are going to increase more, and guess what? remember you asking me, and i'm not being critical of you all. these are legitimate questions you're asking me.

the alien registration act of 1940, also known as a smith act, and it changes the law to provide for deportation for past membership. it is targeting harry. and so there is another hearing and another case and a supreme court decision and bridges and the supreme court says he was never a member of the communist party or affiliated with the communist party. so the attempt to deport harry bridges is dashed once again. the government is determined to try to get harry bridges out of the country. all though bridges becomes a citizens after he wins, after the victory for carol weiss king and bridges in the 1940s, the government tries to denaturalize him and attempts to deport him once again and those fail. so it takes a lot out of harry bridges. it's a long story but a important one in terms of the history of ideological exclusion and deportation in the united states. >> let's move forward in time. i can't resist asking you about the case of ernst dowd. a scholar and activist who found himself barred from the united states in the 1960s, even though he had been here before and lectured here in the interest. my interest in the mandel case is spa
