Date [inclusive] 1951-1999

Extent 51.25 Linear feet in 103 manuscript boxes.

Language English

Abstract The American Committee on Italian Migration (ACIM) was organized in

February 1952 as a member agency of the National Catholic Resettlement

Council, which later formed part of the National Catholic Welfare

Conference (NCWC). From its inception, ACIM’s chief objective was the

liberalization of the United States immigration policy, which delineated

in the McCarran-Walter Act of 1952, rested upon a restrictive “national

origins” quota. ACIM undertook a wide range of activities, from raising

funds to sponsoring new Italian immigrants into the United States and

promoting new immigration legislation by Congress. This collection

contains additional materials donated to CMS by ACIM in 2003, mostly

documenting ACIM's work in the 1970s-1990s. The collection contains

office files and case records pertaining to lobbying US Congress regarding

immigration law, and to the assistance of Italian immigrants in Italy and

the United States.

Biographical/Historical note

The American Committee on Italian Migration (ACIM) was organized in February 1952 as a memberagency of the National Catholic Resettlement Council, which later formed part of the National CatholicWelfare Conference (NCWC). From its inception, ACIM's chief objective was the liberalization of theUnited States immigration policy, which delineated in the McCarran-Walter Act of 1952, rested upona restrictive "national origins" quota. ACIM undertook a wide range of activities, from raising funds tosponsoring new Italian immigrants into the United States and promoting new immigration legislation byCongress. With the passage in 1965 of the Kennedy-Johnson Bill abolishing the "national origins" quota,ACIM turned to aiding immigrants in migration and adapting to their new surroundings.

In 1952-1953, ACIM organized local chapters in about 100 United States cities and coordinated lobbyingefforts in support of emergency immigration legislation. The passage by Congress of the Refugee ReliefAct in 1953 permitted some 60,000 Italian refugees to enter the United States over the 5,645 Italian quotaestablished by the McCarran-Walter Act. Throughout 1954 and 1955, ACIM was engaged in findingAmerican sponsors for many of these prospective immigrants and then in 1956 upon their arrival in theUnited States in finding them homes and jobs. The following year ACIM chapters successfully pressuredCongress to pass special legislation, the "Family Reunion Law," which allowed some 25,000 wives andminor children of Italian immigrants, to join their spouses in the United States. In 1958, ACIM mounteda campaign urging Congress to allow "Fourth preference cases" (i.e. sons and daughters over 21 andbrothers and sisters of Italian immigrants) to rejoin their families in America. Stop gap measures passedby Congress in 1959, 1961, and 1962 hardly corresponded to the large number of applicants, which hadaccumulated over the decade. In 1963, ACIM figured prominently in the campaign for the adoption of theKennedy-Johnson Immigration Bill, which abolished the "national origins" quota system.

The fulfillment of this long-standing ACIM objective did not resolve the large backlog of Italianimmigration applications. After 1965, ACIM dedicated itself to the backlog and continued to lobby beforeCongress; provide immigration information to United States relatives of prospective immigrants; and itdirectly assisted the immigrants both in Italy where ACIM opened a branch office and after their arrival inthe United States.

Judge Juvenal Marchisio, a prominent figure during the immediate post World War II period in"American Relief for Italy" and in "Boys Town" served as ACIM's National Chairman from its inceptionin 1952-1968. Reverend Caesar Donanzan, P.S.S.C. served as Executive National Secretary from1952-1966 and was succeeded by Reverend Joseph A. Cogo P.S.S.C. Upon Judge Marchisio's retirementin 1968 Bishop Swanstrom was named to the post of the Chairman of the Board of Directors. Cogo andSwanstrom continued in their respective offices. In 2003, ACIM moved out of its longtime office on West44th Street in New York City.

recipients of the correspondence range from clients seeking information to colleagues in ACIM’s several

fields of activity. The nature of the correspondence similarly ranges from short responses to requests for

information to more lengthy evidence of how ACIM conducted its work of raising funds and using the

funds to assist individuals and to lobby for legislative reform.
