Some employers. however. may not get the news. Our subcommittee has been concerned about this possibility. Both Senator SIPSON and I have addressed the Immigration Service about the manner in which its officers will be approaching employer sanctions enforcement over the next 12 months. I am convinced. following our hearings and subsequent discussions with INS Commissioner Alan Nelson. that the next 12 months will really be an extension of the current education perioda transition period. if you will. between the present and the time next summer when the full weight of employer sanctions will be put in place. Instead of just a 4month extension. as proposed by Senator DECONCINI. the INS is properly exercising its discretion to permit. in essence. a 12month extension of the education effort.
