Mr. Chairman. there are various reporting requirements which you have. in your wisdom. written into the bill. and would take effect upon implementation. In view of the very unique situation of what we call the Freely Associated States. it seems advisable to the gentleman from Kentucky and to our subcommittee that from an immigration standpoint. we should have detailed information on the admission of FAS citizens who. after all. will be granted free entry into the United States under the terms of the compact. I would certainly hope that reports on immigration could be submitted yearly and could include such data as how many FAS citizens enter the United States. what status they enter under. whether students. visitors. et cetera. how long they reside here. what employment occupations they enter. and in particular to what states they are destined. Also. information on any changes in the naturalization laws of the islands and numbers of persons obtaining citizenship in the FAS would assist the Congress. it seems to me. in monitoring the impact of the legislation. Therefore. Mr.
