This bill will permit the creation of a record of lawful admission for permanent residence in the cases of certain aliens who entered the United States prior to December 24. 1952.

Our peoples regard for humanity. their faith in the worth of every individual. is nourished by the varied racial and cultural contributions that come to us in the person of immigrants who are welcomed to our open society. By helping aliens to join the family circle of their close relatives in the United States. we shall strengthen our Nation with the love and gratitude of those who are reunited in freedom. Mr.
