Mr. President. we have before us a bill providing a 1year extension of Public Law 85316. which makes it possible for alien orphans to be adopted by U.S. citizens and brought into the United States under nonquota visas. I have always been heartily in favor of this program and am delighted that the Judiciary Committee has sent this extension to us. However. I want to call the Senates attention to some problems which have arisen under the current law in the hope that before the year is out we may be able to make muchneeded improvements. Many instances of abuse under the provisions for proxy adoptions have been reported and fairly well documented.
