President. this bill is a compromise. It does not touch the basic provisions of the McCarranWalter Act. It is designed to relieve certain hardship conditions which have arisen in the administration of that act. At the outset. I wish to emphasize that in making these adjustments the bill does not modify the national origins quota provisions which have been a part of our immigration and nationality system since 1924. and which were carried forward in the Immigration and Nationality Act. The bill. S. 2792. would permit the entry of a limited number of alien orphan children adopted by United States citizens.
