Mr. Chairman. I oppose H.R. 3506. which will stay the deportation of Salvadorans. Nicaraguans. and Chinese. as well as the closed rule which prohibits the separate consideration of these countries. H.R. 3506 combines the provisions of H.R. 45. which gives blanket stays of deportation to Nicaraguans and Salvadorans. with those of H.R. 2929. which grants temporary protected status to Chinese nationals. primarily students participating in the proDemocracy movement. While I support H.R. 2929. I oppose H.R. 45. The closed rule forces many of my colleagues and me to choose between supportIng provisions which we oppose in order to save those In which we believe. or Instead. to oppose all provisions. including those we support.
