The provision will allow au pair programs to remain in operation until such time as the programs are authorized and implemented by another agency of the U.S. Government. Without this legislation. the Department of State can no longer issue visas for au pairs who are expected to arrive in the this country to begin their yearlong exchange. and the INS must deny entry to J visa holders who are designated under the au pair program. My amendment to the Senate bill concerns the Fascell fellowhip program under which U.S. citizens can serve in positions traditionally held by foreign national employees at U.S. missions abroad. Currently. this program has been limited to the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe.
