I rise to ask the House support in overriding the Presidents pocket veto of H.R. The President chose to veto the bill last November and. instead. used an executive order to give Chinese students here the same protection it would have offered. His motivation was good. he wants to protect the students and at the same time try to persuade the Chinese Government to continue our existing exchange program. But changing the regulations is not enough. As Congresswoman Pz. osi said yesterday. the executive order contains a conflict with our existing immigration law. and a court challenge could overturn it. That in itself is enough to Justify the override. But beyond that.
