I say to the Senator that i think it would be a very bad mistake to take the authority away from these trained officers. who for many years have been engaged in the work of screening applicants and issuing visas. and who are familiar with the process. It would be a great mistake to take the work away from them and attempt to turn it over to a new commission. My thought Is that the consulates should have their staffs increased and augmented with proper investigatory forces. It would be a great mistake to separate or divide the responsibility for the entrance of persons into the United States. giving one organization or commision the re*sponsibility for granting visas to displaced persons. and giving the consulateswhich from the very beginning of this Government have had charge of the Issuance of visasresponsibility for issuing visas to persons coming in under the regular quotas. All persons applying for admission into the United States and being granted admission should come under the same authority. and the same sort of examination should be given to all of them. so that when they enter the United States we shall at least have some reason to know that they are qualified to become sound residents of our country.
