Additionally. STEW was deeply moved by the plight of Amerasian children. During the 97th Congress he was instrumental in the passage of the Amerasian Immigration Act which gave the children of United States servicemen in Southeast Asia the same priority rights to obtain visas into this country as all other children of American citizens. This legislation typifies the compassion and sensitivity that STEW MCKINNEY had for his fellow human beings. It is in recognition and in tribute to all his tireless work on behalf of the homeless that the conferees to H.R. 558 have renamed it the Stewart McKinney Homeless Relief Act.
