Mr. President. I send to the desk an amendment to H.R. 4327. the immigration efficiency bill. that would correct an injustice in current law that works a tremendous emotional hardship on the children of people who work in this country for international organizations. such as the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund. I want the record to show that I am fully supportive of H.R. 4327. and I urge its enactment as quickly as possible. We could insure its enactment if we were to adopt my amendment and send the bill back to the House without further amendment. I understand that the House is prepared to act expeditiously to get the bill to the President as quickly as possible. since time is of the essence. Present immigration laws require that these children return to their parents country after they complete their education. or if their parents die or retire. This is so even if they have spent most of their lives in the United States. Many of these children think of themselves as Americans and think of America as their home.
