The House passed a bill to relax immigration law briefly so a group of immigrants from all over the nation can be naturalized July 3 on Ellis Island. The bill would suspend for 48 hours a provision in the law that says immigrants must be naturalized in the federal court district in which they reside. The Senate is expected to approve the bill this week. The citizenship ceremony, to be conducted by Chief Justice Warren E. Burger, will mark the Statue of Liberty-Ellis Island centennial.
