filed 7-10-52 133 HR5678 Veto July 9, 1952 Prg My dear Bishop Sherrill: for your message commending his action in vetoing # Please accept the President's thanks the McCarran-Walters Bill. In his message returning the Immigration and Nationality Act to the House of Representatives without his approval, 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, WILLIAM D. HASSETT Secretary to the President Right Reverend Henry K. Sherrill, President, x National Council of Churches of Christ in America, X 2953 297 Fourth Avenue, New York 10, N. Y. Enclosure. ks
