In three cases. the President has provided protection that is equal to provisions in the bill. and. in the remaining two. he has gone even further then the intent of this legislation. First. With regard to notifying Chinese students about expiration of their visas. the President provides for nonadverserial notice with no forced departure. as does H.R. 2712. Second. The Presidents Executive order. like the bill. extends lawful status to Chinese nonimmigrant visa holders whose visas have expired. providing they were here on June 5. 1989. Third. The administrations waiver of the 2year home residence requirement is effective for 4 years. The bill would do the same thing. Fourth. The bill would provide employment authorization to only certain Chinese visa holders. The administration has extended the opportunity for employment to all Chinese nationals in the United States as of June 5. 1989. In other words. it goes beyond what the legislation does. Fifth. The bill would give special consideration to refugee applications from Chinese nationals who express fear of Chinas forced family planning policy of "one couple. one child". The Presidents directive applies to all foreign nationals. It goes beyond that.
