The main work we do to support ourselves is to bake and sell alter bread (communion wafers). Sister [Edita] will be helping with this work. The Carmelite Sisters simply did not know that Sister Edita had checked the wrong form on her original application to immigrate. They were literally "shocked" when her application for a third extension of her B1 visa was denied. Because of this simple and wholly honest error. she now may face deportation. I fully realize that the Judiciary Committee. according to its own rules. will not act on this legislation until all administrative and judicial remedies are exhausted. However. I wanted to go on record at the earliest possible date that I will oppose any action by the INS to deport Sister Edita. I intend to follow the proceedings in this matter closely. and hope that my colleagues on the Subcommittee on Immigration and Refugee Affairs will take note of my deep concern on this matter.* By Mr. CHAFEE (for himself and Mr. MITCHELL):
