Mr. Rankin. Mr. McCone, when you said that supplying all of the information about U.S. citizens who went abroad and came back to the country would not be a profitable exercise, did that comment include the thought that such an intrusion upon all citizens would be questionable?
Mr. McCone. Such an intrusion?
Mr. Rankin. Upon their right to travel.
Mr. McCone. Well, I think this would have a bearing on it. I did not have that particular matter in mind when I made that statement, however. I was just thinking of the——
Mr. Rankin. Burden?
Mr. McCone. Of the burden of vast numbers involved.
Mr. Rankin. Do you you have any thought in regard to whether it would be an intrusion upon their rights?
Mr. McCone. Well, that would be a matter of how it was handled. Certainly, if it was handled in a way that the counterpart of providing the information was to impose restrictions on them, then it would be an intrusion on their rights.
Mr. Rankin. Yes.
Senator Cooper. May I inquire?
