President. I ask unanimous consent to have printed in the RECORD. and appropriately referred. House Resolution 23. adopted by the 71st General Assembly of the State of Illinois recommending that Public Law 85316 be amended to confer nonquota immigrant status on those aliens classified as fourth preference applicants and whose petitions had been approved by the Attorney General prior to July 1. 1957. This resolution deserves the attention of every Member of the House and Senate because it points up the need to revise at least one aspect of our rigid immigration policy. Legislation is now before the Judiciary Committee designed to reunite fourth preference applicants with their families in the United States. It is hoped that early action will be forthcoming.
