CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF S. 2550
Introduction
It is the purpose of this memorandum to set forth, in
summary form, a few of the salient objections to certain provi-
sions of S. 2550 as it passed the Senate. For the most part, no
comment will be made respecting those provisions of the bill which
re-enact existing law, nor those which improve existing law, such
as Section 311, which removes all racial bars to naturalization.
The bill, since it represents a total revision of our
immigration and nationality laws, comprising one whole title of
the U. S. Code, is voluminous and complex. It is therefore im-
possible in a memorandum of this scope to discuss all the new
provisions or to assess their effect. In particular there are
many changes made in existing procedures, which will be of pro-
found importance in practice, but which it will be impossible
to deal with here.
Although the bill now pending in conference committee
is technically H.R. 5678 (Walter), it is in substance, as amended
by the Senate, S. 2550 (McCarran). For that reason, the McCarran
bill forms the basis of the discussion to follow. With some ex-
ceptions, the discussion proceeds in the same order as the major
sections of the bill.
