The legislation promises to bridge the gap to the opportunity for citizenship that many thought was a part of that tradition. Mr. Speaker. the Armed Forces Immigration Adjustment Act of 1991 is nearly identical to legislation which this House passed in the last Congress and which was approved by the Senate Judiciary Committee last year. The bill was placed on the Senate Calendar. but unfortunately. for reasons totally unrelated to the merits of the legislation. it did not come up for final consideration during the final days of the 101st Congress. We now have the opportunity to see this needed legislation passed and signed into law.
