Yes. It is not proposed to abolish the visas entirely. but let me read briefly from the bill: That notwithstanding existing law fixing the fees to be collected for vs6s of passports of aliens and for executing applications for such viss. the President be. and he is hereby. authorized. to the extent consistent with the public Interest. to reduce such fees or to abolish them altogether. In the case of any class of aliens desiring to visit the United States who are not "immigrants." It is not proposed at all to remove the vis6 fees for immigrants. Those remain as now. $1 and $9. Let me read the rest of the billI as defined in the immigration act of 1924. and who are citizens or subjects of countries which grant similar privileges to citizens of the United States of a similar class visiting such countries. That is. it is proposed that we shall reduce the fee for vls~s upon the passports of citizens of. say. Great Britain coming to this country. if they reduce reciprocally the fees for our citizens there.
