Where does the power rest today? The power rests with consular officers. men who very frequently are unskilled. They have complete and total authority in the issuance of visas. The final discretionary power lies in the Attorney General. I believe the argument of the Senator from Michigan is apropos and very significant with reference to what has been heard in debate in the Senate on many occasions. namely. that we are always hearing Senators argue that we ought not to vest in appointive officers who serve at the will of the President discretionary authority. but should pin the authority down.
