Mr. President. during the past couple of days. I have heard a lot about a Congressional Research Service memorandum that allegedly shows that the Presidents immigration directive is somehow subject to court challenge. I know that the CRS memorandum is cited in at least one "Dear Colleague" letter supporting a veto override. And since we are going to vote tomorrow at about 2:30 on the Chinese student question and I do not have time to circulate a "Dear Colleague" letter. I thought most Senators would like to know that the general counsels office of the Immigration and Naturalization Service has prepared a memorandum rebutting each and every claim or suggestion of illegality made in the CRS memorandum. In fact. the INS memorandum unequivocally shows that the Attorney General has legal authority to grant a blanket waiver of the 2year foreign residency requirement for J1 visa holdersthat the Attorney General can promulgate regulations that provide the Board of Immigration Appeals with binding rules of decisionand that the Attorney General can properly delegate much of his authority to administer and enforce the immigration laws to the Commissioner of the INS. Mr. President.
