President. this amendment addresses the same subject as that covered by the previous senseoftheSenate resolution by the Senator from Alaska and of the leadership amendment which was agreed to yesterday. It is not in any respect designed to constitute a criticism of the MitchellDole amendment. which was added to this bill yesterday. but to add on to and strengthen that proposal. The two leaders in their amendment yesterday provided for up to a 3year stay of any deportation aimed at classes of Chinese students in the United States. It allowed for time for Chinese students to look for and to apply for other or more suitable nonimmigrant or Immigrant visas. And it allowed work authorization for those students who did apply for a change of status. though not for those who failed to do SO. My inclination is that we should go further. in the interests of the students. in the interests of encouraging democratic change in the Peoples Republic of China. and in the interests of the United States.
