[CHAPTER 789-3D SESSION]

[H. R. 6820]

AN ACT

For the relief of Elizabeth Vresh (Yalga Vres), her son Frederick Vresh, and her daughter Sylvia Vresh Bronowitz.

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That the Secretary of Labor is directed to cancel forthwith the outstanding warrant of arrest, order of deportation, warrant of deportation, and bond, if any, in the case of the aliens Elizabeth Vresh (Yalga Vres), her son Frederick Vresh, and her daughter Sylvia Vresh Bronowitz, and is directed not to issue any further such warrants or orders in the case of such aliens, insofar as such future warrants or orders are based on the unlawful entry of such aliens into the United States prior to the enactment of this Act, or on perjury or false statements in connection with such entry into the United States, or with any application heretofore made for a reentry permit or extension thereof. The said Frederick Vresh was twelve years of age and the said Sylvia Vresh Bronowitz was thirteen years of age at the time of entry. Both are now married to native-born American citizens and each have two children. Deportation warrants were never executed in these cases inasmuch as the Department of Labor has regarded them as so-called hardship cases. Hereafter, for the purposes of the immigration and naturalization laws, such aliens shall be considered to have been, at Buffalo, New York, on May 20, 1924, lawfully admitted to the United States for permanent residence.

Approved, June 28, 1938.
