Mr. Chairman and members of the committee. I would like to have your serious consideration of this amendment. because we will find some of these immigrants might not be able to obtain such documents as are required under this provision. There is no way for them to request a vis6 unless they supply the very things that are demanded. Now. for example. suppose they can not find a certain record like a birth record. Why should not an affidavit setting forth these facts by the immigrant and of his inability to do so be permissible. or why should not an affidavit of the loss of any other document be sufficient? Under the proposed bill admissions will be denied. as a matter of fact. unless the proposed applicant can produce his dossier. his prison record. his military record. if any. Now. suppose he can not locate the ser. geant or the commander or the place to obtain his military record.
