EXECUTIVE OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT
bureau OF THE budget
WASHINGTON, 25, D.C.
JUN 21 1946
My dear Mr. Latta:
On June 19, 1946, you advised this office that H. R. 233,
"For the relief of Hamsah Omar", had been received at the White
House, and requested reports and recommendations as to the approval
of the bill.
It is the purpose of the bill to cancel the deportation pro-
ceeding now pending against Hamsah Omar and to provide that his
last entry at the port of El Paso, Texas, on March 10, 1940, be
considered a legal entry.
It appears that the claimant first entered the United States
at the port of New York on January 2, 1924, as a deserting alien
seaman; that he proceeded to Detroit, Michigan, where he has re-
mained since that time; that he is employed as a private chauffeur
at a wage of $32.50 per week and receives his meals and part-time
lodging; that his wife, who is a citizen of the United States, is
entirely dependent upon him and is physically unable to support
herself; that under existing law the Attorney General could, except
for one obstacle, suspend deportation of the alien upon the ground
that such deportation would result in an economic detriment to his
wife; but that the obstacle to such administrative relief in this
case lies in the fact that it may not be granted under the law to
an alien racially inadmissible or ineligible to naturalization -
which is the disability under which this alien suffers.
A facsimile of the enrolled enactment has been referred to
the Attorney General, and his reply, interposing no objection
to the approval of the bill, is attached.
I am authorized by the Acting Director of the Bureau of the
Budget to recommend that the bill be approved.
Very truly yours,
Mr. M. C. Latta,
Legislative Reference.
Assistant Fibrily Director,
The White House.
