COBURN, CHIEF CLERK COMMITTEE ON LABOR AND PUBLIC WELFARE March 19, 1952 Mr. Richard E. Neustadt Special Assistant in the White House Office Room 230, Executive Office Building The White House Washington, D. C. Dear Dick: I am enclosing two rather interesting documents in case you have not seen them. These documents just came to my attention. One is a statement of position of the Catholic organizations in regard to the McCarran and Walter Bills, and the other is a telegram from Walter Van Kirk to various members of Congress on the same matter. I attended a meeting in New York on Monday which I will tell you about by 'phone. I think things are looking up on this front. Cordially, Fulu Julius C. C. Edelstein Executive Assistant to Senator Lehman P. S. I dictated this before I talked to you. I find I do not have the Lutheran statement but it was sent out by Dr. Krumbholz. The Quakers have also made a statement along the same lines. As I told you, the meeting in New York on Monday outlined an intensive program of joint and individual action by the organi- zations concerned to oppose the McCarran-Walter Bills and to support an immigration program, but the two are inseparable. tho A 40.
