As the ranking member of the Subcommittee on Immigration and Refugee Policy. I was pleased to be able to work with our chairman. Senator SIMPSON. in moving this important humanitarian legislation through the Judiciary Committeefollowing our agreement last June that we would deal with this bill separately in order to assure its passage this session of Congress. Mr. President. there are few other humanitarian issues that touch the heart of the American people more than the needs of thousands of orphans and disadvantaged children scattered in several countries of Asia where we have been heavily involvedand particularly those children fathered and abandoned by U.S. citizens.
