President. on April 4. 1963. the Senate passed S. 74. to grant the beneficiary permanent residence in the United States as of the date of her first admission to this country as a visitor. On May 7. 1963. the House of Representatives passed S. 74. with an amendment to add the beneficiary of a House bill. Under the provisions of S. 74. as amended. both beneficiaries would be placed in a position to file petitions for naturalization. An additional case. that has now been approved by the Judiciary Committees of both the Senate and the House of Representatives. has been considered. The beneficiary. the subject of S. 574. would be granted the status of permanent residence in the United States. I move. therefore. that the Senate concur in the House amendments to S. 74. with a further amendment to add the additional case. and I send to the desk the further amendment. as follows: . After section 2. add the following new section 3: "SEc. 3. For the purposes of the immigration and Nationality Act. Antonio Gutierrez Fernandez shall be held and considered to have been lawfully admitted to the United States for permanent residence as of the date of the enactment of this Act. upon payment of the required visa fee. Upon the granting of permanent residence to such alien as provided for in this section of this Act. the Secretary of State shall instruct the proper quotacontrol officer to deduct one number from the appropriate quota for the first year that such quota is available."
