U.S. Department of State Bulletin by Frank L. Auerbach, September 27, 1954

This bulletin covers details of amendments made in 1954 to the original Refugee Relief Act, which aimed to provide humanitarian aid by granting visas to refugees fleeing Communist persecution, war, and natural disasters. The amendments expanded visa eligibility, removed certain bureaucratic barriers, and emphasized security provisions to regulate the admission of refugees, escapees, and displaced persons into the U.S.
