Telegram from Roberta Cash to President Harry S. Truman with a Reply from Matthew Connelly

filed 7-28-52 133 July 26, 1952 HR538 Pro V My dear Miss Cash: This will acknowledge the receipt of your message of July twenty-third on behalf of the members of your Auxiliary. As you undoubtedly know by now, the President, after careful consideration, felt con- strained to withhold his approval of H.R. 5678. In his message returning the Immigration and Nationality Act to the House of Representatives without his ap- proval, he stated his conviction that the bill was a step backward in the immigration and naturalization policy of our country. Unfortunately this action by the President failed by two votes of being sustained in the Senate. With the thought that you might like to have a copy of the President's veto message for your ready reference, I am taking the liberty of sending you a copy herewith. Very sincerely yours, TRUMAN BUTIONAL LIERARY ARCHIVES AND RECORDS SERVICE 13 GOVERNMENT MATTHEW J. CONNELLY Secretary to the President Miss Roberta Cash, 16th District Legislative Chairman, Ladies' Auxiliary, Department of California, Veterans of Foreign Wars, 176 McDougal Street, x84 Vallejo, California.
