Mr. President. late last year. after years of debate. Congress finally adopted temporary protected status for Salvadorans in the United States. This important provision. so ably championed by my colleagues Congressman JOE MOAKLEY and Senator DENNIS DECONCINI. was included within our Immigration Act of Under the new program. Salvadorans were given 6 months to apply for this new temporary status. This 6 months expires this weekend on June 30. Unfortunately. the first 5 months of the program were consumed by squabbles over appropriate fees for the program and regulations were not promulgated until May 22with just 1 month left in the application period.
