President. with the further indulgence of the able Senator from Mississippi. I should like to state that I have also made inquiry of Mr. LHeureux. the Chief of the Visa Division. who affirms. without question. that the consular service has. and exercises. final jurisdiction over the issuance of visas to displaced persons. insofar as the laws applicable to the issuance of visas are concerned. The consuls may and do reject displaced persons who do not qualify under the laws governing admissibility of immigrants. where the Foreign Service is given. by law. jurisdiction over such admissibility. All this is set forth in title 8 of the United States Code. where it may be read by all Senators who desire clarification on this point. I thank the Senator.
