Mr. President. I was shocked early this week to learn that the Department of Labor and the Immigration and Naturalization Service have initiated a crackdown on the hiring of alien athletes and coaches by American sport teams. It is my understanding that in order to qualify for a visa allowing him to be a member of a U.S.-based professional team. an athlete will have to be able to demonstrate to the relevant Washingtonbased bureaucrat that he is. in effect. a superstar. Mediocre baseball players. basketball players. and hockey players will be denied entry so as to promote the hiring of American athletes. Their "mediocrity." incidentally. will be judged by GS12 and GS13 level bureaucrats in Washington rather than by their coaches or the fans who pay to see them play.
