Representative MIKULSKI and I received unanimous consent to bring House Resolution 304 to the floor for immediate consideration. Through tremendous bipartisan support and the assistance of the leadership and the House Judiciary Committee. this resolution was quickly approved without dissent. House Resolution 304 expresses the sense of the House that the President should immediately seek a halt to any proceedings initiated by the Attorney General which could result in the deportation of any Polish citizen to Poland. The resolution requests that deportation proceedings be suspended until such time as the President determines that the political situation in Poland is stable and that returning Poles will encounter no undue risk upon entering their country. Representative MIKULSKI and I introduced this resolution in view of the turbulent political situation which now exists in Poland following the recent declaration of martial law in that country. We felt that there could be a significant risk to the lives and safety of any Polish citizens forcibly returned to their homeland.
