The labor attestation process for the admission of workers in labor shortage occupations will cause added delays and costs. Several of my colleagues had drafted amendments which were directed at making the provisions of H.R. 4300 more receptive to the need for both skilled and unskilled labor while protecting the interests of American workers. I am disappointed that most of these amendments were not made in order. In their current form. the employmentbased immigration provisions of H.R. 4300 make our legal immigration policy an obstacle to the ability of American businesses to compete in the world marketplace. Mr. Chairman. I reserve the balance of my time.
