Speaker. that this bill is so strongly supported by the Navy. which wants to give these exceptional recruits the opportunity to progress in their naval careers. The bill is very simple. It would grant to these foreign nationals special immigrant status if they complete 12 years of honorable. active duty service. Alternatively. if they complete 6 years of honorable activity duty service and have reenlisted for an additional 6 years. they would also be eligible. No more than 2.300 people could quality in any year. and all beneficiaries would fall within existing worldwide and per country immigration ceilings beginning in fiscal year 1992. The Norfolk Naval Base is in my congressional district. I have been privileged to meet with and discuss this bill with a number of Filipinos who have served or are serving in the Navy and who would be affected by its provisions.
