Title

Letter to President Harry S Truman in favor of veto of McCarran-Walter bill, 1952

Description

This letter from a number of Democratic senators, including James Murray, expresses support of President Truman's veto of the McCarran-Walter bill on immigration in 1952. The first two signers, Herbert Lehman and Hubert Humphrey, would introduce an alternate bill shortly after Truman's veto. Eventually, Congress overrode Truman's veto and McCarran-Walter became law later in 1952.
