Mr. Chairman. I yield myself the balance of my time. Mr. Speaker. I rise to speak in favor of the Committee on Education and Labors amendment which provides a substitute for section 211 of the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1982. Section 211 amends. significantly. the H2 worker program. That program provides that individuals. nonimmigrant aliens. may come to this country on a temporary basis to perform certain labor and services for which there are insufficient unemployed Americans. The program has been. in the past. limited in naturenever going beyond 70.000 individuals in a single yeareven at its height.
