President. during the recent trip that I made to Europe. there came to my notice a number of cases of people in the armed services. officers. enlisted men. and their wives. who themselves were childless couples. and who desired to adopt orphans. overseas. I found that the laws as they now exist present a barrier to those people. which prevents their bringing into this country orphans whom they desire to adopt. I introduce for appropriate reference a bill which would permit those who adopt children under 8 years of age to bring them in as nonquota immigrants. The bill to enable certain adopted children of United States citizens to enter the United States as nonquota immigrants and to become naturalized. Introduced by Mr. KNOWLAND. was received. read twice by its title. and referred to the Committee on the Judiciary.
