Mr. Speaker. I am introducing a bill today to amend the Immigration and Nationality Act to permit children adopted by United States citizens to be naturalized in certain cases without satisfying the residence and physical presence requirements. A large number of Americans serving as career employees of the United States Government. International organizations. and American business firms operating overseas are required by the nature of their jobs to remain abroad for a long period of time with only short trips home. Since the services of these people overseas are essential to the United States. it is in our national interest. both in regard to the Government employees and to those of the private firms furthering our foreign trade and commerce. to help them in their efforts to establish a happy family life comparable to that which the American families at home are privileged to lead.
