By order of the President of the United States:
E.D. TOWNSEND,
_Assistant Adjutant-General_.

DEPARTMENT OF STATE,
_Washington, June 2, 1865_.
Whereas, pursuant to the order of the President and as a means required
by the public safety, directions were issued from this Department, under
date of the 17th of December, 1864, requiring passports from all
travelers entering the United States, except immigrant passengers
directly entering an American port from a foreign country; and
Whereas the necessities which required the adoption of that measure are
believed no longer to exist:
Now, therefore, the President directs that from and after this date the
order above referred to shall be, and the same is hereby, rescinded.
Nothing in this regulation, however, will be construed to relieve from
due accountability any enemies of the United States or offenders against
their peace and dignity who may hereafter seek to enter the country or
at any time be found within its lawful jurisdiction.
