After defeating a motion by the majority leader to table this amendment. the Senate overwhelmingly passed the amendment. Because of the uncertainty of House action on this amendment. the Senate Judiciary Committee reported favorably to the Senate on S. 2237. which provided for a 2year extension of the alien orphan adoption law. Next. on July 20 the Immigration and Naturalization Subcommittee of the Senate Judiciary Committee conducted hearings on H.R. 187 and S. 2212. companion bills which are the same as the judicial review provisions of the bill we are now considering. At this 1day hearing and the only hearing conducted on immigration legislation in this session of Congress. every witness appearing testified in opposition to the bills. While the record was left open for testimony from the Department of Justice. none was ever given. Then. on August 14. the Senate for the second time went on record in favor of the alien orphan adoption program by passing S. 2237.
