Many Americans have families and relatives in Europe. They know homeless children who would welcome an opportunity to grow up as fine American citizens. Yet these children are virtually barred from the United States by our immigration quotas. My bill provides that the children under 18 may enter the United States as nonquota immigrants if an American family gives satisfactory assurances that these children will be adopted as soon as they come here. It is my hope that the Senate Judiciary Committee will act on this bill without delay. The bill to permit in certain cases children under 18 years of age who are to be adopted in the United States to enter the United States as nonquota immigrants. introduced by Mr. HUMPHREY. was received. read twice by its title. and referred to the Committee on the Judiciary.
