OCR Page 1 of 26MEMORANDUM FOR:
THE SECRETARY OF STATE
In your memorandum to me of April 11,
you suggested that the Omnibus Inmigration Bill,
H.R. 5678, introduced by Representative Walter,
mexited executive approval and early enactment.
Since that time, this bill has been passed by
the House of Representatives, and its companion
bill, S. 2550, introduced by Senator McCarrang
is now before the Senate.
I have asked the Director of the Budget
to give na his views on this matter, and I am
attaching a memorandum from him to mo, setting
forth his views, together with a supporting
analyais of the major provisions of these
bills.
You vill note that the Director of the
Budget feels that the provisions in these bills
which permit the inmigration and naturalization
of persons from Asia are extremely limited in
scope, and do not outweigh, in the good they do,
the damage done to our general imnigration policy
by the other provisions.
