Mr. Chairman. subsection (c) (2) in section 20 of H.R. 7273 places an additional reporting responsibility upon the carriers of nonimmigrant travelers to notify the Attorney General when the return portion of a travelers ticket that not been used within the 90day time limit. It is my understanding that it would be virtually impossible for the carriers to provide this information to the Attorney General in less than 6 to 9 months from the scheduled departure date of the traveler. due to the complexities of the interline ticketing system. Would the chairman agree that the intent of the bill is not to place an unreasonable burden on the carriers to comply on the 91st day of the travelers stay but rather would. through agreement with the Attorney General allow a realistic period for compliance? And would the chairman further agree that the primary control device is the responsibility of the Immigration and Naturalization Service and not that of the carriers?
