Mr. President. on Friday. November 15. President Bush issued a directive that provides temporary immigration relief and work authorization for approximately 2.000 former Kuwait residents who were airlifted from Kuwait shortly after the Iraqi invasion and brought to the United States. I want to take this opportunity to commend President Bush for this humanitarian gesture to families who would have faced the real tragedy that they would be separated from each other and possibly not allowed to return to Kuwait. In August. the plight of the evacuees was brought to my attention by Dr. Iyad AlShurafa. a Kuwaiti evacuee who now lives in California.
