President. on February 17. 1969. the Senate passed S. 295 to grant the status of permanent residence in the United States to the wife of a U.S. citizen and to provide for the posting of a bond as a guaranty that she would not become a public charge. On February 17. 1970. the House of Representatives passed S. 495. with an amendment to provide for a waiver of the grounds for exclusion relating to one who has suffered from mental illness and who has a mental defect. Under this amendment the beneficiary must make specific application with the immigration service for an adjustment of status to permanent residence. Medical information in the case is favorable. and it is stated that the beneficiary responds well to treatment. which is required infrequently. I move that the Senate concur in the House amendment to S. 495.
