Mr. President. on June 2. 1960. the Senate passed E. 2941. to enable the wife of a lawful permanent resident of the United States. whose status was adjusted under the provisions of section 6 of the Refugee Relief Act of 1953. as amended. to qualify for nonquota status. This was the status granted to other alien spouses and parents similarly situated whose petitions granting second or third preference status were approved prior to January 1. 1959. under legislation enacted during the 1st session of the 86th Congress. On June 21. 1960. the House of Representatives passed S. 2941. with amendments to provide that an adjustment be granted the lawful resident alien husband as of the date of his first entry into the United States. thus making him eligible to petition for naturalization. after which he would be in a position to confer nonquota status upon his spouse. To prevent further separation of the family involved. I move that the Senate concur in the House amendments to S.
