OF THE SENATE. United States Senate. DEAR MR. PREsmEar: Enclosed for the consideration of the Congress is a draft of a proposed bill which has for its purpose the relief of certain payees and disbursing and certifying officers. with respect to payments made in contravention of appropriation restrictions on the employment of noncitizens of the United States. Prior to November 1. 1951. the prohibition contained in the various appropriation acts with respect to the employment of aliens had an exception for nationals of countries allied with the United. States in the prosecution of the war. Under that exception. an agency of this Department had employed as veterinary poultry inspectors 6 nationals of Poland and 1 of Lithuania. both of which countries had been allied with the United States in the prosecution of the war.
