Mr. Chairman and gentlemen of the committee. I think the committee is laboring under a wrong impression and I want to clear that up at this time. I again repeat to the committee that there is nothing in this bill whereby you can select the immigrant abroad. Under the procedure that is now in force all you have to do is to go into a consuls office. get an application. and that application can be filled out by anybody. The man then returns. and if the consul feels like granting a vis6 he grants such a vis6. Under the proposed law the applicant must come to the consul. and the selection which the distinguished member of the committee called selection Is the fact that the man who desires such a vis must come to the consul and some one in the consular office will fill out the application.
