I appreciate the gentleman yielding. and I appreciate his kind words in support of the legislation. H.R. 2929. reported by the Committee on the Judiciary. and before the Committee on Rules. and that I expect to have before the House for a vote in the future. I ask the gentleman to keep in mind that many of the Chinese students. and many of the international education individuals at the various universities of the United States have informed Members that the Chinese Government very much forced people into the "J" program. when people from other countries would often have been able to come on "S" visas where they would not have the 2year return requirement. Where we were lax in the past of allowing the Chinese Government to keep that kind of pressure on these individuals. and now we find it might be used no just to get them to return. but to bring them back to a fate that no Member would want to see them face. In some ways. the treatment of the "J" visa was generous in the extreme. and the withdrawing of this benefit that they might have is perhaps a result of that fact.
