7667 August 15, 1952 Memorandum for: Honorable Dean Acheson Secretary of State From: The President I understand that the Immigration and Nationality Act - that is the McCarran Bill which I vetoed and they passed over my veto - will go into effect some- time soon and that it is necessary to make an appointment to handle that situation in the State Department. I would like very much to talk with you about that situation and see if we can't get somebody in that position who will be interested in the welfare of the people and who will not be under the thumb of McCarran and his Committee.
