Speaker. it was with a sense of loss that I learned of the death of Frank L. Auerbach. Deputy Director of the Visa Office of the Department of State. I had come to know and respect greatly Mr. Auerbach. His career bespeaks his unique talents. He was Immigration Counsel to social agencies in Germany and assistant case consultant to social agencies in the United States. He worked with the War Relocation Authority of the Department of Interior and was a lecturer of both Hunter College and Columbia University in New York City. He began his work with the Department of State in 1948 as a consultant to the Chief of the Visa Division and became Assistant Director of the Visa Office in 1955 and Deputy Director in 1962. Mr. Auerbach is the author of "Immigration Laws of the United States. "Nationality Problems of Children." "Principles Which Should Underlie our Nationality Laws." "The Admission and Resettlement of Displaced Persons in the United States." and "The Immigration and Nationality Act. a Summary of Its Principal Provisions." Mr. Auerbachs matchless knowledge of the immigration laws. his compassion. his dedication to his work. his unfailing courtesies to all who sought of his time and his talent. made him the public servant beyond reproach. His death leaves a void in an area where there are too few experts. He served us well and he will not be forgotten.
