Mr. President. yesterday the Committee on Immigration and Naturalization acted favorab. on Senate bill 913. all the Members present voting in the affirmative. From that committee I report back. without amendment. the bill to authorize the refusal of visas to aliens whose admission into the United States would endanger the public safety. and I submit a report (No. 386) thereon. Inasmuch as a recess is likely to be taken until Monday. I should like to have the bill considered at this time. I may say that I have conferred with the minority leader. the Senator from Oregon . with reference to the bill. and he interposes no objection to its consideration: It is a very brief and a very simple bill. It purports to confer a power on the members of the Consular Service abroad which I already thought they had. It merely permits the consuls to refuse visas to aliens whom they know or have reason to believe are persons whose presence in the United States will be inimical to the public interest. I ask unanimous consent that the bill be considered at this time.
