Mr. President. I rise today to introduce a bill to permit local school districts to waive the cost requirements of foreign students studying in our public high schools in the United States on F1 visas. The law now mandates that all foreign students who are not in a governmentfunded exchange program must pay or reimburse the costs of their education in American public schools. In those public school districts flooded with foreign students who pay no taxes. this requirement makes good sense. However. in those school districts which enroll a small number of foreign students and bear a tolerable burden there may be no need or desire for reimbursement.
