do substantial damage should be
included In the program.
The recommendation that CAB
have final authority as to admis-
sion to restricted" facilities
under its jurisdiction reflects the
opinion of the commission that.
when such authority Is divided
among CAA. CAB, and military
agencies sharing civil air trans
port facilities, there is strong
likelihood that overall national
security interest cannot be ade-
quately protected. The agency
which has the responsibility for
such protection should have sole
Authority for implementing
measures for that protection.
The commission. however, rec
ognizes the important dual in
terests Of CAA and CAB in ma
tional security in civil afr trans
port and recommends that, SUBJ
lject to other recommendations.
the Secretary Of Commerce and
the CAB should have joint sre-
sponsibility for airport security.
INTERNATIONAL ORGANI-
lZATIONS.-The existing loyalty
program for United States ma
tionals employed by international
organizations should be con-
tinued. but the standard should
be broadened to include those
who are security risks for
reasons other than doubtful
loyalty. The standard should
be whether or not, on all the
information. there is reasonable
doubt as to the loyalty Of the
person to the Government of
the United States or reasonable
ground for believing the person
might engage in subversive ac-
Invites against the United States.
The commission is recon-
mending ampiification of the
criteria, reconstruction Of the
international Organizations EN-
ployees Loyalty Board and
streamlining Of its operations
to minimize delays. and the
rights Of subpoena and con-
frontation applicable to other
programs.
PASSPORT SECURITY.-In
the passport field. Congress
should enact legislation defining
the standards and criteria for
10 permanent passport security
program. The procedure would
continue to be defined by regu-
Ilation.
/ Proposed amendments to the
criminal statutes would make
1t unlawful for a United States
citizen to travel to any country
for which his passport is de-
clared invalid. and would penal
lie willful refusal to surrender
Ia passport lawfully revoked.
4 The commission also recon-
mends that the legal adviser Of
the Department Of State de-
termine the legal sufficiency Of
all passport denial cases before
final action by the Secretary.
In the operational phase, the
commission recommends that, at
all levels. there be strict COM
Ipliance with the provision of the
regulations that notice in writing
and the reasons for decisions
shall be stated as specifically
as security considerations permit.
An applicant would also be re-
quired to state whether, as the
result Of any security investiga-
ton or proceedings. he has been
advised Of an adverse finding.
The commission also proposes
that a single fingerprint be re-
quired on the application and on
the passport itself.
The commission believes also
that qualifications should be
specified for passport Office en-
ployes charged with RESPONSE
bility for security decisions and
that there should be a training
program for such employees.
IMMIGRATION AND Ma
TIONALITY.-The commission
recommends in the field Of i'm
migration and nationality that
the functions Of visa control, ex-
cept for diplomatic and official
visas. be transferred from the
Department Of State to the De-
partment Of Justice and that the
Attorney General be authorized
by law to maintain personnel
abroad to carry out these func-
tions.
The commission also found
that The admission TO the United
States Of any large group Of
aliens en- masse creates q serious
security problem. II, accord
