Mr. President. the proposed legislation would pay the sum of $500 to Fouad George Baroody as reimbursement for a departure bond which he posted and which was forfeited. The claimant was granted preexamination in 1955 and was found admissible to the United States as a nonquota immigrant. He subsequently proceeded to Canada and was readmitted for permanent residence. The claimant has set forth in an affidavit that he kept in regular touch with the immigration office at Charleston. S. C.. and followed their advice. Although the status of the alien was not adjusted retroactively to the date of his original entry he was granted permanent residence and the committee believes that he acted in good faith and accordingly feels that the amount of the departure bond which he forfeited should be returned to him.
