President. this measure is effective and comprehensive. I am pleased that it has received so much support from both sides of the aisle. It is truly a bipartisan proposal. The amendment is really a safe harbor for our guests. It is not a grant of asylum or an amnesty. Instead. it provides needed relief while respecting our present immigration policy. I should point out that this amendment is very similar to S. 1218. a bill that I introduced with Senator CRANSTON. In fact. this amendment goes somewhat further than S. 1218 because recent events in China have been so horrible.
