A bill to amend the Immigration and Nationality Act to provide procedures for administrative correction of the dates of birth of certain naturalized citizens.

Summary

Amends the Immigration and Nationality Act to authorize the Attorney General to correct the birthdates on naturalization certificates of individuals admitted as immigrants between December 22, 1945, and November 1, 1954, if such original misrepresentation was predicated upon a fear of persecution if repatriated rather than to evade the existing immigration quotas.
