I rise in opposition to the amendment. Mr. Chairman. I think it is important that an alien who is lawfully admitted to the United States for permanent residence should remain in the United States. If this alien finds it necessary to travel abroad and remain for over a year. under section 101 (a) (27) (B). it is provided for the admission of an alien under those circumstances. This is the language: An immigrant lawfully admitted for permanent residence who is returning from a temporary visit abroad. Meaning that such person would be quotaexempt. He can obtain the necessary nonquota permission from the consular agent.
