Mr. Speaker. legislation which would provide minor corrections in existing immigration laws will come before this House early next week. I am told. While these items are perhaps not as sweeping as many of us would prefer. they offer needed revisions which I believe this Congress should approve. The bill offered by my colleague from Pennsylvania contains a section which would permit entry into this country of an unlimited number of orphans for a 2year period. It contains language which would permit these visas to be valid up to 3 years in the case of children adopted by United States citizens residing abroad temporarily on business or in the military or civilian services of the United States. This language does not appear in the Senate immigration bill which passed that body earlier this week. I believe it Is desirable and should be retained. H.
