"The Alien Registration Act of 1940" by Earl G. Harrison, August 7, 1940

This speech was broadcast over NBC radio by Harrison, the Director of Registration for the Bureau of Immigration and Naturalization in the Department of Justice. In it, he emphasizes the importance of the Alien Registration Act of 1940 as a national security measure, requiring all non-citizens to register and be fingerprinted between August 27 and December 26. He reassures immigrants that the process is straightforward, confidential, and not an anti-alien initiative.
