Mr. President. I am pleased to support H.R. 2712. as amended. by the Emergency Chinese Immigration Relief Act of 1989. But frankly. I am also disappointed that our amendment to the House bill does not provide more assistance for Americas Chinese guests. I am disappointed because the Senate is. in effect. retreatingat least for the momentfrom the position it took in July. On July 11. the Senate unanimously passed the MitchellDole amendment to S. 358. the Immigration Act. That amendment. which I helped shape. would afford Chinese students in the United States a safe haven until 1992. One day later. on July 12. the Senate recognized the need to go even further.
