Madam President. it is essential that the program be continued under which certain alien orphans adopted by U.S. citizens are allowed to enter the country under special nonquota immigrant visas. That is why I am supporting S. 2237. This program was also a great concern of our former colleague from New York. Senator Irving Ives. who joined with me before my present colleague became a Member of the Senate in his place. and also worked hard on this matter. The alien orphans program was begun more than 12 years ago as part of the Displaced Persons Act of 1948. It was extended in 1953 and in subsequent years.
