Mr. Speaker. Mr. and Mrs. Henry Smoaks of Charleston. S.C.. have been trying to get their adopted daughter. Elizabeth Ann Jones. naturalized as a U.S. citizen. Under current law. the Immigration and Naturalization Service cannot approve her application for immigration because. for naturalization purposes. she does not qualify as an adopted child. Therefore I am introducing a private relief bill to relieve the Smoaks of the restraints which prevent them from naturalizing their adopted daughter. Elizabeth is the niece of Mrs. Smoaks and was adopted inasmuch as she has been living with the Smoaks for many years. She is a British citizen and a resident of Liverpool. however. a very unpleasant family problem exists there. partially due to the fact that her mother has remarried.
