While the crisis in the Persian Gulf rages on. we cannot forget about the continuing strife in Lebanon. Many Lebanese currently in America came here to escape the turmoil and bloodshed that marks daily life there. and passage of H.R. 4300 will promise that more Lebanese will have the opportunity to join their families in safety here In the United States.

Jewish. and Japanese immigrants celebrate their forefathers journeys across the Atlantic and Pacific. we must not close the door on new Americans.
