Memorandum from Richard Neustadt to Jack McFall

March 12, 1952 Memorandum for: HONORABLE JACK McFALL Assistant Secretary of State I am enclosing a revised draft of the immigration and escapee message which was worked up in Key West. This is the draft I dis- cussed with you on the phone. I think you will find it in general a much more cohesive pre- sentation. It does make an effort, along slightly different lines than we discussed, to bring the unfilled quota idea into the immigra- tion proposal. At the same time, on pages 9-12, it includes a much fuller treatment of education and training for escapees than you had indicated the Department felt desirable. I have already mentioned to you the reasons why this material is included in the draft. As I also indicated when we talked, I am sending a copy of this draft to Marshall Shulman. I would be obliged for informal-perhaps preliminary-comments from you gentlemen on this draft as soon as possible--today, if that can be done, or certainly tomorrow forenoon. Of course, however we finally come out on this, the message has a great deal to do with what goes into the bill and I think the message has to be controlling. I don't think you ought to stop your reporting to Roger Jones while we work on the message. But I don't see how we can settle on the form of legislation, or the method of sponsorship, et al, until the message is pretty firm. I have had a talk with Cox and will be glad to discuss that matter with you whenever you have a chance to call. Richard E. Neustadt the Adams
