On May 1 of this year. I introduced a bill. S. 677. the Equity In Transmission of Citizenship Act of 1997. that will waive the parental transmission requirement for the grandchildren of U.S. citizen females. That bill has been referred to the Senate Judiciary Committee. While I am hopeful S. 677 will be promptly approved. it may not be approved before September 27. the deportation date of Mr. and Mrs. Rojas. The private relief bill I introduce today will provide an extension for Mr. and Mrs. Rojas so that S. 677 can be taken up and passed. Mr. President. I ask unanimous consent that the text of this bill be printed in the RECORD.
