Immigration and Nationality Act, Donna Christine Fargo may not be 
considered to be within a class of aliens ineligible to be admitted to

        statements to a government office in order to obtain 
        unemployment benefits; or

        the Immigration and Naturalization Service on April 9, 1997.
    (b) Application to Known Grounds.--Subsection (a) shall apply only 
to grounds for ineligibility for admission, and grounds for removal, 
reflected in the records of the Immigration and Naturalization Service 
of the Department of Justice, or the Visa Office of the Department of 
State, on the date of the enactment of this Act.
