Mr. President. Bill Clinton. during his campaign. promised to "lift the current ban on travel and immigration to the United States by foreign nationals with HIV." This policy was initiated by Congress in 1987. The Senate voted in favor of it 96 to 0. and the House accepted the provision without a vote. Mr. President. I believe that the lifting of the current banwhich is within the power of the President to lift by Executive orderis premature and will very likely strain our already overburdened health care system. The amendment offered today retains the current ban unless changed by law.
