From every point of view our experience has been completely satisfactory. There is no danger to the public health. the joy and satisfaction which accompanies the reuniting of families commends the perpetuation of the law. and there is no remaining question concerning the practicability or the feasibility of the proposal. Under the regulations. each Immigrant admitted under this provision must submit satisfactory assurances that. first. adequate medical treatment will be supplied to him in this country. second. that all financial arrangements for his care have been made. and third. that he will go directly to the specified hospital and submit to such examination. treatment. isolation and other medical regimen as may be required and will remain under this prescribed treatment until discharged. There have been 1.567 immigrants admitted thus far under this provision. In only six cases was there noncompliance with the regulations. I am informed that both the Department of Justice and the Public Health Service are in favor of incorporating this provision in the basic immigration and nationality law. Although the provision does not effect a major change in the basic law. it is extremely important to those who will benefit from it. I urge that the bill be speedily considered so that we have no hiatus between the expiration of the old law and the effective date of the new law.
