President. I am pleased to be joining my good friend Senator DECONCINI today in introducing a bill that will end a needless threat to continued bus service between the United States and Canada. Because of the unfortunate and unintended application of our immigration laws. Canadian busdrivers serving the United States from points originating in Canada will no longer be granted visas. In fact their status has been under a cloud for many years. and at present they are permitted to work on emergency temporary parole status only. and that status is not going to be continued by the Immigration and Naturalization Service. The implications of this termination for Vermont are serious. Vermont Transit. which is affiliated with the Greyhound Lines. has served Vermont very well. and Vermonters have come to count on it. both for longdistance service to Montreal.
