That is. Chilean citizens temporarily residing in the United States. Over 4.000 Chilean citizens are here temporarily on student or work visas. many of whom have visas that expire very shortly. We should now consider the possible persecution that many will face upon their return to Chile. It is my intention to introduce legislation to permit an extension of visas for a period of 5 years or until free elections are held. to those citizens now residing in the United States. It is my sincere hope and expectation that the broader question of asylum for political prisoners will be entertained in the Senate committee investigating the implications of U.S. policy toward Chile.
