Mr. President. this is a private immigration bill. for the relief of Sidney Young Hughes. As it passed the House. this bill granted the status of permanent residence to Mr. Hughes. an alien. who had been convicted of a crime involving moral turpitude. The Senate Judiciary Committee amended the bill by strikinag out all after the enacting clause. and substituting in lieu thereof language which would remove the impediment to the aliens admission for permanent residence because of his conviction. The effect of the Senate language would be to require the alien to go to Canada to procure an immigration visa. and to pass all of the other tests which an alien must undergo. so that if this alien should prove excludible on any grounds other than the previous conviction. he might still be excluded. The Senate passed the bill in accordance with the Judiciary Committees recommendation. The House has now disagreed to the Senate amendment. and has requested a conference with the Senate thereon.
