Mr. President. I send to the desk a resolution providing for a study of the provisions and administration of several sections in the Immigration and Nationality Act. This legislation directs the Judiciary Committee. or appropriate subcommittees. to review the interpretation being given to certain specific sections of the act affecting socalled "greencard holders." The term "greencard holders" refers to citizens resident of countries along our borders who have obtained permission from the Attorney General of the United States to cross into the United States on a daily or other periodic basis to perform labor or services in the United States. As presently written. the law allows such travel to the United States by nonimmigrant aliens for employment purposes if their employment does not adversely affect other American wage earners.
