Sergeant and Mrs. Shea received a nonquota status for the girl. but were denied admission for the boy. Sergeant Shea has told me that he was unaware of a barrier. existing in our immigration law. which forbids the admission of more than two unrelated adopted orphans under the sponsorship of one family. Thus. young John Joseph remained at an Inchon City orphanage when his parents left for the United States. He remains a prisoner of our immigration laws. and the only way in which they an be reunited is through the help of this Congress. The Judiciary Committee. under the distinguished chairmanship of the dean of this body. the gentleman from New York. has seen fit to process this private bill quickly. Sergeant Shea and his family await word of these proceedings at Fort Hamilton.
