Speech #1010216712

Mr. Chairman. this amendment should not be adopted. The gentleman from Texas is incorrect about his interpretation of current law. at least if the Immigration and Naturalization Service is to be believed. The INS has been in the process of proposing regulations that would have gone far beyond this provision in allowing foreign students to work in the United States. and it was because of that proposed regulatory change by the INS that this amendment was placed in the bill. that this provision was placed in the bill in order to see to it that any extension which would still require the regulations by the INS. but that any extension of the right of foreign students to work in the United States would be carefully tailored and narrow. The bill requires the following: The students have to be students in good standing.
