In order to speed action in visa cases a special committee has been set up in the Visa Division to examine newly received applications, the State Department announced today.

The statement explains that advisory approvals for the issuance of visas may be sent to American consular officers in cases, other than those of alien enemies, which are recommended by the committee as not requiring consideration under the interdepartmental visa committee procedure. A simplified form of application will be placed in use within a few weeks, according to the State Department.
