Mr. Speaker. this bill was approved by Subcommittee No. 1 of the Committee on the Judiciary early in this session but was not acted upon largely because the Senate did not show any indication of getting around to taking it up. The bill moves the date of registration up to March 31. 1954. for brothers and sisters and married sons and daughters of citizens of the United States where they have applied for an immigrant visa under the law and did not get a quota number. The second section of the bill provides for entry or the adjustment of immigrant status of those skilled aliens whose services are urgently needed in the United States. Many of these people have been certified by the Defense Department and defense contractors that they are needed. We have been dealing with some of them on a piecemeal basis in the form of private legislation.
