Mr. Speaker. I rise in opposition to the current version of H.R. 3736. which drastically increases the number of available H1B visas while severely limiting worker protection clauses that were contained in the version passed out of the House Judiciary Committee on May 20. 1998. I am especially disturbed that the newest compromise achieved by Senate Members and the administration late last night has been brought to the floor today with little time for us to adequately review this newest proposal. I am not convinced of the need for more temporary workers. Industry alleges there is a great shortage among hightech companies.
