Executive Order 6064—Rescinding the Executive Order Restricting the Transportation of Passengers from Certain Ports in the Orient to a United States Port

March 03, 1933

Whereas it appears from reports received that the unusual prevalence of epidemic cerebrospinal meningitis infection in the Orient has subsided and the danger of introducing this disease into the United States now can be controlled satisfactorily through the exercise of ordinary quarantine procedures at United States ports of arrival;

Therefore, Executive Order No. 5143, dated June 21, 1929, "Restricting for the Time Being the Transportation of Passengers From Certain Ports in the Orient to a United States Port", hereby is rescinded.
