He may make his own regulations for receiving them. But those who come under that category come to and receive their entree from the State Department. When they come here they get their visas from the State Department. The State Department issues the visas. There is no other department which issues them. The pending bill doss not require that any other department shall issue them. It was recommended by the Hoover Commission that the whole visa section be transferred to the Department of Justice. We do not go along with that. We keep it in the State Department. where it has been. and where it will be. What we do is to place the power and responsibility as to visas in one individual in the State Department. who would be appointed by the Secretary of State. with the approval of the President. and confirmed by the Senate. We say to him. "You shall have the advice and counsel of the FBI and every other security agency of the Government." That is denied today to those who grant visas.
