Madam Speaker. I yield myself such time as I may consume. Madam Speaker. the bill before the House today. S. 1698. a bill to provide immigration benefits to Amerasian children represents all that is good and humane about our country. This is truly a landmark piece of legislation. The Amerasian children. those halfAsian. halfAmerican children fathered by Americans while serving our country in Asia. have suffered greatly because of their mixed heritage. In Vietnam. they are known as the "dust children." often living in the streets without any food or shelter. The legislation we are considering will allow these Ameraslans to come to the United States where they can live rich and fulfilling lives.
