President. I think it would be hasty and ill advised for the Senate to accept this particular provision without having had hearings on it and without representatives of the Department of State having an opportunity to testify. Only one or two minor officials. including the head of the visa department. were called to testify on the general subject. The bill would create an autonomous bureau and give it a separate status within the Department of State to deal with visas. but the part which is overlooked is that there is a very important political question involved in the granting of visas. Members of the staff were asked hypothetical questions about the admission of a person who might have been engaged in revolutionary activities of a terroristic nature. Presented in that bald fashion. it might be suggested that they should be included.
