Speech #820131921

House bill 3731. for the relief of Megumi Takagi. This bill waives the racial barrier to admission into the United States in behalf of a halfJapanese and halfAmerican child residing in Japan with citizens of the United States. The child would be considered to be a nonquota immigrant. which is the status normally enjoyed by the alien minor children of citizens of the United States. This bill is considered to be an emergency case. because the adoptive father is an officer in the United States Army who has received his orders to return to this country. In fact. he must embark within the next few days.
