Farley Mowat. who wrote the book. "Never Cry Wolf." He wrote the book because B52s were flying over his timbered land and he was going to come to the United States to lecture and we would not let him in. Back in the sixties. a group of Japanese citizens wanted to come to the United States to protest U.S. policy on nuclear weapons and we would not let them in. All we are doing is embarrassing ourselves. The one thing we stand for is freedom. We should not be moving in the opposite direction with our visas. I am pleased to say I have cosponsors on this amendment from both sides of the aisle. I yield whatever time may be left to the ranking member of the minority on the Immigration Committee. Mr. KENNEDY.
