I move to strike out the last two words in order to explain this amendment. Mr. Chairman and gentlemen of the committee. in just a few words may I say this: Under the present law a man not an immigrant has to have a passport. The chairman of the Committee on Foreign Affairs appeared before the committee aid the .testimony Is that a man can not travel from one country to another In the Old World without a passport. Therefore we have retained the passports. Now. the quota immigrants. as defined in section 5. make their applications. and instead of having a certificate attached to them this amendment places it on them. as defined in this section. and the nonquota immigrants. as defined in section 4. make application and state the facts as set forth in section 4. Then the facts as provided for in this amendment are Indorsed on that certificate. So an immigrant has his certificate. with the vis6 on it. and his passport. which is necessary for traveling in all European countries and in order to get from one to the other. The bill as now written provides for attaching this certificate to the application. and the amendment provides for putting a vis6 on the application. The Secretary of State claimsand I think he is rightthat it Is clearly within our power to deal with the vis~s.
