We had a subcommittee meeting just this morning in which we had.a number of different cases brought to our attention where there was no need for action by the subcommittee on maybe three or four children from a family that were being adopted but there was for one because that one child happened to fall within the category of. 14 to 16 years of age. Based on the experience we have had we have made the recommendation included in this bill. Another section which I would suggest is important and which I requested be included in the subcommittee draft provides for the adjustment of status of certain investors who have qualified for nonpreference visas prior to June 1. 1978. but who. due to a change in the law. have no reasonable expectation of obtaining a visa in the near future. In other words. these were individuals who had in many ways been enticed to come into the United States for investment purposes with the promise that they would receive a number. a preference number. which would allow them to apply ultimately for permanent residence status here and following that citizenship. Once they got over here. we made a change in the law which basically meant they would never get a number.
