C 0 P Y HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES Committee on Immigration and Naturalization Washington, D. C. January 30, 1946 Honorable Harry S. Truman President of the United States The White House Washington, D. C. RE: White House release of December 22, 1945 relative to immigration My dear Mr. President: The House Committee on Immigration and Naturalization, in two executive sessions, has carefully gone over and considered your statement of December 22, 1945 relative to immigration. We feel this statement is unfortunate. The Committee feels that immigration at this time should not be encouraged. The Committee further feels that officials of the State Department, the Department of Justice, and also the appropriate committees of the Congress should be consulted on any matters pertaining to immigration. Respectfully yours, /s/ John Lesinski, M. C. Chairman, by authorization of Committee Filed- Immigration
