Article XVII specifically states that "nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as in any way limiting the right of the United States to safeguard its own security. or its right completely to control the entrance of aliens into any territory of the United States." Other provisions address the form. and substance of the Official Travel Document. the procurement of communications facilities by the OAS. the disposition of the headquarters property In the event the OAS should cease to maintain headquarters in Washington. the provision of public services to the headquarters. and the privileges and immunities accorded OAS officials and experts. No implementing legislation is required for the United States to perform its obligations under the Agreement. As a treaty. the Agreement will override federal. state. and local law with respect to privileges. immunities and exemptions to the extent such laws are inconsistent with its provisions. The provisions of the Agreement are not inconsistent with U.S. immigration laws. which will provide the basis for meeting the commitments established by the Agreement for the admission of aliens. I recommend that the Senate give early and favorable consideration to the Agreement and give its advice and consent to approval.
