Dated June 27, 1952, this United Press photoprint falls on the day Congress overrode President Truman's veto of the McCarran-Walter Immigration and Nationality Act. Pat McCarran, a Democratic senator from Nevada, chaired the Senate Judiciary Committee and was a central figure in the law, which kept national-origin quotas while tightening rules on who could enter and stay in the country. The record's details come from an unverified caption card, so the exact occasion is worth confirming, but the portrait shows a senator at the center of early Cold War debates over immigration and internal security.
