I am one of many Senators who have cosponsored this bill. but I wish to recognize the singular achievements of my colleague. Senator SPENCER ABRAHAM. for introducing the bill and for advancing it so thoughtfully. so energetically. and so cooperatively. In one sense we are called upon to pass legislation to respond to a crisis. as so often seems the case. Just last week the Immigration and Naturalization Service announced that the 65.000 person cap on H1B visas for fiscal year 1998 had been reached. Unless we act. for the remaining five months of the fiscal year. American employers will be unable to hire the temporary foreign workers who help fill gaps in our very tight labor market for skilled professionals.
