Passport Service as a semiautonomous unit within the Department of State. It provides that the Service shall be responsible for the administration of U.S. nationality laws. the documentation of American citizens traveling abroad. and the control of travel by citizens under applicable statutes. The status of the Service within the State Department would be comparable in structure to the Immigration and Naturalization Service of the Justice Department. It transfers all the functions. powers. duties. and authority of the present Passport Office to the new Passport Service. The legislation provides that the Service shall be under the control of a Director appointed by the Secretary of State and responsible directly to him.
