Approximately 2 weeks ago I was notified of a bill on the calendar which. in substance. is the same as this provision of the bill. At the request of the Department of State I objected to it. on the call of the calendar. Since that time. I have looked into the question. Hearings on the general subject of the matter of granting visas were held. but no bill providing for the creation of an autonomous bureau within the Department of State was under consideration at that time. Mrs. Shipley. who is head of the Passport Division. was not requested to appear in connection with the matter.
