SecretaryGeneral Kurt Waldheim has told me that a decision by the U.S. Government to extend such a privilege would represent "yet another expression of the humanitarian traditions of this great country." The bill I introduce today has the same intent as the bills I introduced in the 96th and 97th Congresses. Last Congress both the Senate and House versions of the SimpsonMazzoli Immigration bill contained provisions correcting this problem. Although we negotiated a successful compromise In conference. the whole effort was lost when we failed to reach agreement on the larger bill in the final hours of the 98th Congress. In this Congress. we will try again.
