UNITED STATES OF AMERICA suppl, 3 Introduction Supplement III to the March 1, 1944, edition of the Immigration and Nationality Laws and Regulations covers all laws enacted and regulations, Presidential proclamations, and Executive orders issued from January 1, 1946, through December 31, 1946. There have been no treaties made affecting immigration or nationality during this period. As in the original volume the material is presented in three parts. The first part contains the laws and proclamations relating to immigration; the second, those relating to nationality; and the third, the regulations. In the parts devoted to the laws, the text of new legislation affecting existing law is set out in the same sequence in which the statutes are printed in the Edition of 1944. This portion of the supplement gives the date and section number of every act affected, with citation to the numbers of the pages of the original volume where those sections appear. In the text of such new law, changes in wording are shown in italics. Repeal in whole or in part of prior law also is indicated, and the law as it was before modification by any amendment included in this supplement will be found in footnotes. Following such presentation of existing law as changed by Congressional action during 1946, pertinent legislation enacted during the year is printed in full in chronological order, whether or not it amended statutes already in force. In the part devoted to the regulations, the regulation as amended or the new regulation is given. To reduce the necessity for reference to the 1944 edition, the footnotes for any material reprinted from that volume are given and designated with the same numbers as were used therein. When new footnotes are needed to show previous wording or new data, they are designated by numbers followed by a letter. References to pages of this supplement, except in the Index, are preceded by SIII; those to pages in Supplement I by SI; and those to pages in Supplement II by SII. All other references are to pages of the 1944 edition. A chronological list of the new acts will be found on folio VI, and an index keyed to that of the main volume will be found beginning on page 249. WATSON B. MILLER, Commissioner.
