BILL SIGNING CEREMONY FOR S. 1698 PREFERENTIAL TREATMENT OF AMERASIAN CHILDREN
DATE: Friday, October 22, 1982 LOCATION: The Roosevelt Room TIME: 2: 30 P .M. (10 Minutes)
FROM: Kenneth .M. Duberstein~ ./J.
I. PURPOSE
To sign S. 1698, a bill that amends the Immigration and Nationality Act to give preferential treatment in the admission of certain children of U. S. personnel. This ceremony will call attention to the plight of these "Amerasian" children.
II. BACKGROUND
Under this bill, a child is eligible to immigrate to the United States if he/she was fathered by an American citizen and was born in Korea , Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, or Thailand after 1950. The bill also establishes identification procedures and qualifications for support.
The plight of thousands of Asian children fathered by Americans has received much press in recent years because of their status as outcasts in their countries.
Father Alfred Keane, a Maryknoll priest who ran St. Vincent's orphanage in Soeul for 29 years , sought congressional assistance for these children from Congressman Stewart McKinney (R-Connecticut) .
Congressman McKinney began four years ago to seek a legislative remedy and together with Senator Jeremiah Denton (R-Alabama), a long-time Vietnam prisoner of war , redoubled efforts in 1981 to resolve the backlog of immigration cases of these children. s . 1698 will do that.
Participants from the private sector are representatives of organizations that were long involved in this legis lative effort in behalf of the children and includes Amerasian children who came into this country before this bill was adopted by the House and Senate. 2

PRESIDENTIAL REMARKS: SIGNING OF S. 1698 AMENDING THE · IMMIGRATION & NATIONALITY ACT (FOR AMERASIAN CHILDREN) FRIDAY, OCTOBER 22, 1982
Today I am signing into law legislation that comes to grips
with a problem that should touch every American's heart. During
the last three decades when tens of thousands of our airmen,
soldiers and sailors went to Southeast Asia and Korea to prevent
aggression and to protect the vital interests of our country, a
number of Amerasian children were born. When their fathers
returned to the United States, far too often innocent children
were left without a parent and without a country.
Through no fault of their own, these children have
frequently lived in the most wretched of conditions and often
have been ostracized in the lands of their birth.
Today it gives me great pleasure to sign s. 1698, a major
step toward facing up to a moral responsibility we cannot ignore.
This is a good and humane law. It recognizes the rightful claim
of Amerasian children to American citizenship and permits their
· entry into our country after arrangements for their care have
been made with their families or with private organizations.
The sponsors of this legislation, Senator Jeremiah Denton
and Congressman Stewart McKinney, deserve a special word of
thanks for their efforts to reunite these children with those who
will love and care for them. And also thanks to Father Alfred
Keane who worked so hard for this bill. / Page 2 ·
Americans h _ay~ always opened their hearts to those coming
from distant lands to make a new life here, to live in freedom
and to improve their lot. In this case, we should go a step
further. Instead of saying welcome to these children~ - ~~ should
say •.• welcome home.
And now, it gives me great pleasure to sign this bill.

You have so much of which to be proud. Since your first moments in the United States in 1941, you have shared your personal gift of universal understanding to the benefit of all. Time and again, your love and spiritual guidance have brought hope and inspira tion to those confronted with despair. In bringing solace and comfort to the human spirit, you have helped to strengthen the foundation of faith which is mankind's most vital asset. Your life's work has been a response to that special calling few are privileged to hear.
I am especially pleased to join members of Congress in proclaiming a National Day of Reflection on your birthday. As I stated in the Proclamation, your work "stands as a reminder to us all that knowledge is an unworthy goal unless it is accompanied by moral and spiritual wisdom and understanding." As with all great leaders, you have given much more than you wi II ever receive.
God bless you today and always.
Sincerely, 6?~~

NATIONAL DAY OF REFLECTION
BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA A PROCLAMATION
Amid the distractions and concerns of our daily existence, it is appropriate that Americans pause to reflect upon the ancient ethical principles and moral values which are the foundation of our character as a nation. We seek, and steadfastly pursue, the benefits of education. But education must be more than factual enlightenment -- it must enrich the character as well as the mind. One shining example for people of all faiths of what education ought to be is that provided by the Lubavitch movement, headed by Rabbi Menachem Schneerson, a worldwide spiritual leader who will celebrate his 80th birthday on April 4, 1982. The Lubavitcher Rebbe's work stands as a reminder that knowledge is an unworthy goal unless it is accompanied by moral and spiritual wisdom and understanding. He has provided a vivid example of the eternal validity of the Seven Noahide Laws, a moral code for all of us regardless of religious faith. May he go from strength to strength. In recognition of the Lubavitcher Rebbe's 80th birthday, the Senate and the House of Representatives of the United States in Congress assembled have issued House Joint Resolution 447 to set aside April 4, 1982, as a "National Day of Reflection." NOW, THEREFORE, I, RONALD REAGAN, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim April 4, 1982, as National Day of Reflection . IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this 3rd day of April , in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and eighty-two, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and sixth.
RONALD REAGAN
