Mr. Speaker. I am introducing today a bill for the relief of Patrick J. Gilligan. who was born in Ireland in 1927 and entered the United States on a permanent residents visa on October 9. 1950. coming to St. Louis where he has since resided. In 1954 he married an American citizen and has eight children. Five months after entering the United States he received notice from his draft board to report and. on May 2. 1951. he filled out form SSS 130 at the local draft board claiming exemption from military service. He had not been advised of the possible effect this might have on his desire to obtain citizenship.
