Mr. President. there are about one and onehalf million applicants for immigration visas to this country. I have no doubt that every Senator has been harassed with requests to accelerate the admission of some of those people. Recently many Senators have been asked to endeavor to secure temporary visitors permits for these impending immigrants. In order that the Senate may be fully apprised of the situation and may understand why such applications can not be granted I send to the desk and ask to have read the reply of the State Department to a request of that sort which I myself made. The attitude of the department in rejecting my request seems to me to be so reasonable and its reason to be so interesting that I feel that the Senate would be interested in hearing read the letter which was sent to me in that case.
