I wish to call to the attention of our colleagues the following analysis of the McCarranWalter Act. which appeared in the December 1955 issue of the Foreign Service Journal. The author. Mr. Fred M. Wren. spent 22 years in the Immigration Service before he was appointed visa officer at Halifax in 1946. Since then he has served in Montreal and Zurich. In 1948. 1949. and 1950 he had several details in the Visa Office in Washington. helping to write the visa regulations. and assisting in the preparation of a visa manual and a visa handbook for the use of visa officers in the field.
