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

133 H.R.5678 Pro Kansas City, Missouri July 30, 1952 m My dear Miss Cash: In reply to your message of July twenty-fifth, I wish to say that the President, after most careful consideration, felt constrained to withhold his approval of H. R. 5678, the pro- posed Immigration and Nationality Act. In his mes- sage returning the Immigration and Nationality Act to the House of Representatives without his approval, he states his conviction that the bill was a step backward in the immigration and naturalization pol- icy of our country. This action by the President failed by two votes of being sustained in the Sen- ate. 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, BRARY ARCHIOR TRUMAN NATURAL AND LIBCANT RECORDS SERVICE 1 SOVERNMENT MATTHEW J. CONNELLY Secretary to the President Miss Roberta Cash, 176 McDougal Street, Vallejo, California. nm Enclosure.
