Mr. Speaker. I am introducing legislation which addresses a unique situation involving a family in my district. A petition for the issuance of an Immigrant visa filed by my constituents. Mr. and Mrs. William E. Burr of El Paso. was dismissed by the Board of Immigration Appeals. The beneficiary of the petition. their daughter. Lori Annette. is caught in a legal quagmire and is in need of legislative relief. Lori was born on April 30. 1966. in Mexico and has resided with Mr. and Mrs. Burr since infancy although they are not her biological parents. Upon the advice of legal counsel in Mexico. the Burrs took affirmative actions to adopt Lori in May 1966. after she had been abandoned by her natural mother.
