In any event. I submit that the rights and benefits embodied in H.R. 2712 are deserving of statutory protection. They are immigration rights. but they are also human rights. and should not be relegated to the back pages of the Code of Federal Regulations or field Instructions issued by the INS. Furthermore. in light of a particular case of which I am aware. I am not at all sure that the administration will implement in good faith its stated intentions. The son of a friend of mine in China has been admitted to a university in the United States and is supposed to reenroll there today. He has his Chinese passport and his exit visa. but has twice been denied an entrance visa by the United States State Department. When President Bush vetoed this bill. he stated that he wanted to see these exchanges continue because it is in the national interest of the United States. But in this instance. it is not China. but rather the United States Government who is prohibiting this students departure to the United States.
