Mr. Speaker. yesterday I introduced a resolution with the gentlelady from Maryland. Representative MIKULSKI. that would request a halt to all deportation proceedings against Polish citizens whose visas have. or will soon. expire. Our resolution (H. Res. 304) asks for a halt in deportation proceedings until such time as the President determines that the political situation in Poland is stable and that Poles will encounter no undue risk in returning to their country. At present. any Polish citizen facing deportation is being asked to "walk the plank." Several of my constituents have contacted me. expressing serious fears about Polish citizens being forced to return to Poland. They are concerned over the volatile situation in Polanda situation which could jeopardize the lives or personal safety of these Polish people. In only a few hours time. we have obtained the bipartisan support of 34 Members for this resolution.
