CONGRESSIONAL RECORD - SENATE

FEIGA ALTMANN ROCK

The PRESIDING OFFICER laid before the Senate the amendment of the

House of Representatives to the bill (S.

770) for the relief of Feiga Altmann

Rock, which was to strike out all after

the enacting clause and insert:

That, the Attorney General is authorized

and directed to cancel any outstanding orders

and warrants of deportation, warrants of ar- rest, and bond, which may have issued in

the case of Feiga Altmann Rock. From and

after the date of the enactment of this Act,

the said Feiga Altmann Rock shall not again be subject to deportation by reason of the same facts upon which such deportation pro- ceedings were commenced or any such war- rants and orders have issued.

Mr. MANSFIELD. Mr. President, on

May 20, 1959, the Senate passed S. 770,

to grant the status of permanent residence in the United States to a 67-yearold native of Poland and citizen of

Austria.

On June 23, 1959, the House of Representatives passed S. 770, with an amendment to provide only for cancellation of outstanding deportation proceedings in behalf of the beneficiary.

Under the language of the bill, as amended, the beneficiary will be permitted to remain in the United States,

but she will be unable to proceed toward

citizenship.

I move that the Senate concur in the

House amendment to S. 770.

The PRESIDING OFFICER. The

question is on agreeing to the motion of

the Senator from Montana.

The motion was agreed to.

YONG CHUL JURGENS

The PRESIDING OFFICER laid before the Senate the amendment of the

House of Representatives to the bill (S.

182) for the relief of Yong Chul Jurgens,

which was, in line 7, strike out all after

"States" down through and including

"Act" in line 10.

Mr. MANSFIELD. Mr. President, on April 29, 1959, the Senate passed S. 182,

to grant to the minor child adopted by a citizen of the United States the status

of a nonquota immigrant. The bill provided that the natural parents of the

beneficiary could not derive any prefer- ence under the Immigration and Nationality Act. On June 23, 1959, the

House of Representatives passed S. 182,

with an amendment to delete the refer- ence to the beneficiary's natural parents.

Information is to the effect that the

beneficiary is an orphan and the provision was included in the bill by the

Senate merely as a precaution.

The amendment is acceptable, and I move that the Senate concur in the

House amendment to S. 182.

The PRESIDING OFFICER. The

question is on agreeing to the motion of

the Senator from Montana.

The motion was agreed to.

and orders have issued.

MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT

A message in writing from the President of the United States was communicated to the Senate by Mr. Ratchford, one of his secretaries.

HARRY H. NAKAMURA-VETO

MESSAGE (S. DOC. NO. 35)

The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr.

FREAR in the chair) laid before the Senate the following message from the President of the United States, which was read, and, with the accompanying bill,

referred to the Committee on the Judiciary, and ordered to be printed:

To the Senate:

I return herewith without my approval, S. 611, "for the relief of Harry

H. Nakamura."

The bill would allow Mr. Nakamura,

within a 1-year period, to file a claim

under a 1948 law entitled "An act to au- thorize the Attorney General to adjudicate certain claims resulting from the

evacuation of certain persons of Jap- anese ancestry under military orders."

It is alleged that Mr. Nakamura lost

approximately $113,000 when liquidation

of his business was forced by the evacu- ation in 1942 from California of him and

his family.

Although the deadline for filing claims

under the 1948 law was January 3, 1950,

Mr. Nakamura's claim was not filed in

time because of the illness of his attorney.

After the enactment of the 1948 law, a considerable effort was made by the Department of Justice to acquaint potential claimants with the necessity for presenting their claims on time. Despite

these efforts, a number of claims were not presented prior to the filing deadline.

The record on this bill furnishes no valid basis for distinguishing Mr. Nakamura from others who similarly failed

to file timely claims. The relief proposed

by S. 611 would, therefore, be discriminatory and would create an undesirable

precedent.

For these reasons, I am constrained to

withhold my approval from the bill.

DWIGHT D. EISENHOWER.

THE WHITE HOUSE, July 8, 1959.
