Mr. President. the Department of State has indicated to me that there is a special clearance process for nationals from Syria. Libya. and Iran who are applying for student visas to insure that they are not terrorists. Also. Iranian students are given single entry visas which restrict their reentry once they leave. Each student applying for a visa is personally investigated to look at their background and history. As another check. these students are processed through Washington. DC. unlike other nationals. If students from these countries are involved in public disturbances or other activities contrary to U.S. interests. they are subject to deportation. U.S. schools are also required to notify the INS if foreign nationals drop out of school or are pursuing less than fulltime course instruction. The INS seems to keep a watchful eye on these students. as evidenced by the Department of State requirements.
