President. for over a halfcentury the world has looked to the United States as the beacon of freedom. the voice of selfgovernment and selfdetermination. as a refuge for the oppressed and persecuted. I believe we should respond generously to this request by the Chinese students who are living among us and bravely standing up for freedom and democracy in their homeland. Accordingly. we offer this amendment to S. 358. the Immigration Act of 1989. which addresses the important concerns of the students while at the same time taking due consideration of our own immigration laws and procedures. I hope my colleagues on both sides of the aisle will support this action to assist these brave young men and women who are living and studying in our country. learning not only about our technical skills but also about the fundamental democratic principles which make American democracy the symbol that it has been for the past two centuries. Mr.
