This resolution authorizes a study of the documentary requirements of our Government of American citizens who wish to travel abroad for business or pleasure.. Neither this resolution nor the proposed study have anything whatsoever to do with the question of immigration. or the movement of displaced persons. It is my desire. however. to determine what. if anything. can be done by either the executive or legislative branch of our Government to bring the documentary requirements for travel abroad abreast of our modern day transportation facilities. I feel certain that every Member of this body knows. either from personal experience or as a result of repeated complaints from constituents. the problem a businessman or a tourist faces with respect to passports. visas. health certificates. police records. finger printing. and so forth. when wishing to travel abroad. These requirements are largely the outgrowth of World Wars I and II. They exist by reason of statutes.
