It simply provides an additional ground for the waiver of the residency requirement if the visitors country of origin furnishes the Attorney General a written statement that it has no objection to the visitor remaining in the United States. I believe very strongly that this added type of relief will not only help immensely in keeping families together that are now faced with forced separation and hardship. but it will also provide our country with skilled and trained individuals who can contribute to our own national interest by remaining here. I have followed the lead of the distinguished chairman of the Subcommittee on Immigration of the Judiciary Committee in introducing this legislation. I earnestly hope my colleagues will join in supporting this moderate amendment to the Immigration and Nationality Act.
