Bela Karolyi needs American citizenship by the beginning of the 1988 Olympic games. He misses this deadline by several weeks. I believe the U.S. Senate should approve an accelerated process by which Bela Karolyi receives U.S. citizenship. He has certainly proven his personal commitment to democracyby defecting from Romania he can never return to his native land. Further. he has proven his commitment to the success of the American Olympic effort. Mr. President. a simple glitch in immigration paperwork should not prevent Bela Karolyi from coaching his pupils to victory on the floor of the 1988 Olympics. I urge my colleagues to cosponsor this effort.* By Mr. DECONCINI:
