Mr. President. today I am introducing legislation to amend the Immigration and Nationality Act to grant an alien adopted by an unmarried U.S. citizen the same immigrant status as an alien child adopted by a U.S. citizen and his spouse. In the past. I have authored legislation which provided assistance for the disadvantaged children of South Vietnam. Ten percent of the funds allocated were used to facilitate Intercountry adoption. I am pleased to say that our interest has considerably lessened a once drawnout and frustrating adoption procedure. The measure I am sponsoring is similar to H.R. 568. a bill introduced by Congressman KOCH.
