Many Americans spend their whole lives discovering America and absorbing its cultures. We would all be disturbed if 6 months--or a year under "special circumstances"-were all the regulations allowed us for this pursuit. I am today introducing legislation which will allow a greater stay for those guests in our Nation denoted as "B1 Visitors for pleasure." While I am well aware that there is concern in this Nation for illegal alien workers and more recently for the refugees from Southeast Asia I believe we should also lend a little concern to those aliens who want to visit us legally. The visitor for pleasure is not allowed to take a job. Indeed. as we must note in debating this bill today. this person is the one who spends the money which keeps our tourist industry going and Americans in jobs.
