...President Kennedy last week authorized the immediate entry of 5,000 Hong Kong Chinese-they will not be new refugees from over the border, but skilled and educated Chinese from an already processed list of 19,000 who have been waiting for years for U.S. visas.

China's rubber-stamp parliament, the National People's Congress, met last week in Peking's crimson-carpeted, air-conditioned Great Hall for the first time in two years, but unlike previous sessions, no foreign diplomats or correspondents were permitted inside...
