One of our most serious problems is the control of aliens within the United States. Office of Naval Intelligence initiated a study of this subject by the Interdepartmental Intelligence Committee. The study has about been completed and will probably recommend that the Bureau of Immigration and Naturalization of the Department of Justice be given primary responsibility for centralized control of these individuals. At present there is no central office in our entire Government established where definite information can be obtained as to the whereabouts of aliens within our border. nor from which may be readily ascertained when such aliens arrive in the country or when they leave. The situation is especially bad in connection with alien seamen who are members of merchant ship crews. � Alien seamen are permitted to leave their ships and sojourn unmolested to any place in our country provided they return to their ships within 30 days.
