Mr. Speaker. today. along with 30 original cosponsors. I am introducing legislation to reinstate the prohibition against people with AIDS from freely immigrating into this Nation. They formerly were prohibited from doing so by rule of the Department of Health and Human Services. However. the Department recently changed this rule. despite the fact that of more than 40.000 public comments received. the comments ran more than 9 to 1 against this change. Not only the public comments submitted. but public opinion polls show the American people are overwhelmingly against allowing HIV positive immigrants into this country. I certainly feel sorry for those who have AIDS. I have no objection to them receiving medical treatment.
