Madam Speaker. I rise in strong support of the Amerasian bill. This legislation. which gives first preference under our immigration law to Amerasian children. is long overdue. I cosponsored this bill In both the 96th and 97th Congress and have been pleased to see the growth of interest in these sons and daughters of American citizens. Congressman MCKINNEY Is to be particularly commended for his tireless efforts to publicize this issue and to bring this legislation to the House floor. The war in Southeast Asia has done much longlasting damage. both at home and abroad. and it is heartening to see us finally take this obvious action to right some of the wrong that has been perpetrated upon these children.
