+- Title: SIGPLAN Expresses Concern About New Executive Order Suspending Visas
+  Page: SuspensionOfVisas
+  Content: |
+    SIGPLAN's parent organization, ACM, has issued a
+    [statement](http://www.acm.org/about-acm/suspension-of-visas)
+    expressing serious concern about
+    [President Donald Trump's recent Executive Order
+    (EO)](https://www.scribd.com/document/337740314/Trump-Executive-Order-1)
+    that restricts entry to the USA for citizens of certain countries.
+    The SIGPLAN Executive Committee, consisting of your elected
+    representatives, shares these concerns. The EC is currently
+    engaged in a vigorous dialogue about how to best respond.  We
+    strongly believe that the practice of science and its quest for
+    knowledge and the betterment of the human condition, should be
+    independent of physical, political, cultural, and economic
+    barriers.  While we hope that the EO is rescinded (and will work
+    toward this outcome), we are developing contingency plans for
+    organizing future SIGPLAN events so as to maximize inclusiveness
+    of the worldwide scientific community. We welcome your input.
