Mr. President. I recommended in my report that the administration consider proposing an amendment to the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952 liberalizing the provisions regarding the granting of tourist visas. As the act now reads. an applicant for a tourist visa must swear that he is not a member of a foreign Communist Party or front organization. If he is a member. he may not be granted a tourist visa unless a waiver is obtained from the Attorney General. As a matter of fact. however. such a waiver is almost always granted when requested. This procedure strikes me as undignified and unbefitting.
