The position of the committee was this: That this passportcontrol law had been in effect something over a year. it had depended. as the gentleman from Ohio suggests. upon administrative regulations to make it effective. that those administrative regulations had been applied and had proven effective. that the situation .in the future. while it will be extremely important to control the class of people that shall be allowed to enter our country. necessarily will be less critical and crucial than in the war months that have already gone by. that the proper function of the Committee on Foreign Affairs was not to attempt to establish an immigration policy through the recommendations in this bill. but simply to tide over the existing law until such time as the Committee on Immigration and Naturalization of the House. which is already engaged upon this problem. should have an opportunity to report and present its recommendations to Congress.
