Mr. President. I am pleased to join as a cosponsor of this legislation to extend the tuberculosis waiver provisions of the Immigration and Nationality Act for a 2year period. As the distinguished Senator from Hawaii has indicated. adequate safeguards have been provided in the administration of this law to insure proper health standards. The purpose of this legislation is to aid in uniting families who would otherwise be excluded under the provisions of the present law. The number of parents. spouses. and children eligible for admission to the United States under this program is not large. However. the joy that will be brought to the hearts of separated families will be immeasurable.
