It is my understanding that the Senate is prepared to pass our bill quickly once we send it to them. Without passage of this bill. Major An will not be able to resolve his immigration status and could ultimately be forced to return to Vietnam where he would face an uncertain future. Even if he is allowed to remain here. the uncertainty of his status prevents him from obtaining employment. and creates terrible concern and anguish for him and his daughter. Private bills are certainly an extreme measure. and should be given close scrutiny. However. in this case. I believe a private bill is clearly warranted. The Immigration and Naturalization Service has found that. other than enactment of this bill. Major An and his daughter have no other options. The House Judiciary Committee unanimously approved this measure by voice vote.
