That is the truth. That is the way that is. We have immediate relative immigration that did not increase 7 percent for the last 2 years. Yet the GAO based its report on the presumption that it would increase by 7 percent. In 1987 it fell by 1.000 persons. In 1988. it grew by only 1 percent. Thus. the GAO conclusion that the more distant family preference immigration would drop to zero is not consistent with the present situation at all. In fact. I think this is critical. I hope my friends will hear this. if I might direct their energy to this. Under this bill I cannot imagine how you could feel that we would be embarked on such a course when Senator KENNEDY. Senator SIMON. and I as three members of the subcommittee of diverse philosophical background would never be involved in that kind of sinister activity of closing off family immigration. It is so dramatic that it does not ring true. The President and the Congress under this bill. every 3 years. will be examining it. looking at the level of immigration. and making necessary revisions. That is what we will be doing. Please hear this.
