Filed 6-19-52 June 17, 1952 H.R.5678 133 Con xyz Dear Mr. Edelsberg: Mr. Lloyd has handed me your letter of June 9th in which you request an appoint- ment with the President for a delegation to discuss the McCarran-Walter Immigration Bill. I am very sorry that we are unable to comply with your request but feel sure you will understand when I explain the situ- ation to you. The time prior to the adjourn- ment of Congress is always a busy one for President and, as he has an unusually heavy calendar confronting him, we must of necessity refrain from adding to his present schedule. We regret this is necessary but, under the present circumstances, feel it is the wisest course to follow. With all good wishes, Sincerely yours, HARRY ARCHIVES NATIONAL TRUMAN AND LERRY RECORDS SERVICE GOVERNMENT MATTHEW J. CONNELLY Secretary to the President ers Mr. Herman Edelsberg x Anti-Defamation League of B'Nai B'Rith 1003 K Street, N. W. Washington 1, D. C.
