These distinguished officers and their spouses argued eloquently on behalf of the Ameraslan children. and the need to enact legislation on their behalf. The American people have taken the cause of the Amerasians to their hearts. Since becoming chairman of the Immigration Subcommittee last year. I have heard from Americans from across the land who support these Amerasian children and want them to come to the United States. The language in the immigration reform bill. which every one of my subcommittee members strongly supports. demonstrates that we in Congress are also sensitive to the plight of the Amerasian children. There are many good reasons for this Congress to enact the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1982 this session. and the Amerasian provisions is certainly one of the most important. Two excellent editorials have appeared recently concerning the Amerasian children. one in the Louisville Courier Journal and the other in the New York Times. I am including these at the conclusions of my remarks for the benefits of my colleagues. [From the New York Times]
