                       ACCURACY FOR ADOPTEES ACT

  Mr. DENHAM. Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent to take from the 
Speaker's table the bill (S. 1614) to require Certificates of 
Citizenship and other Federal documents to reflect name and date of 
birth determinations made by a State court and for other purposes, and 
ask for its immediate consideration in the House.
  The Clerk read the title of the bill.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the 
gentleman from California?
  There was no objection.
  The text of the bill is as follows:

                                S. 1614

       Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of 
     the United States of America in Congress assembled,

     SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

       This Act may be cited as the ``Accuracy for Adoptees Act''.

     SEC. 2. RECOGNITION OF STATE COURT DETERMINATIONS OF NAME AND 
                   BIRTH DATE.

       Section 320 of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 
     U.S.C. 1431) is amended by adding at the end the following:
       ``(c) A Certificate of Citizenship or other Federal 
     document issued or requested to be amended under this section 
     shall reflect the child's name and date of birth as indicated 
     on a State court order, birth certificate, certificate of 
     foreign birth, certificate of birth abroad, or similar State 
     vital records document issued by the child's State of 
     residence in the United States after the child has been 
     adopted or readopted in that State.''.

  The bill was ordered to be read a third time, was read the third 
time, and passed, and a motion to reconsider was laid on the table.
