Supplement I to the 1953 Edition of the Immigration and Nationality Laws covers all law enacted and Executive orders and Presidential proclamations issued affecting immigration and nationality from July 1, 1952, through December 31, 1953. There were no treaties made affecting immigration or nationality during that period. As in the 1953 volume, the material is presented in three parts: Part I contains the law; Part II, the Executive orders and proclamations; and Part III, law of general application. In Part I the acts, or parts thereof, appearing in the 1953 volume that are amended, repealed, or superseded are set forth first, showing the action taken with citations to the pages of the 1953 volume where the law may be found. In the text of such law, changes in wording appears in italics, with the law as it was before modification shown in footnotes. Repeal in whole or in part of prior law is indicated. All legislation affecting immigration and nationality enacted during the period covered by this supplement follows in chronological order. Footnotes for any material reprinted from the 1953 volume are given the same numerical designation they carried there. Where additional footnotes are needed to show previous wording or new data, they are designated by "SI" followed by a letter (SIa, SIb, SIc, etc.). References to pages of this Supplement, except in the index, are preceded by SI (SI-13). All other references are to pages in the 1953 Edition. |
