Senator TORRICELLI and I introduced S. 2269 set up for the same purpose. After much negotiation. we now have before us a bipartisan effort to show support for peacethe Irish Peace Process Cultural and Training Program Act of 1998. This bill will provide 4.000 visas a year for 3 years allowing young people from Ireland to live in the United States for up to 36 monthsgaining experience working and living in a peaceful. multicultural society. The bill establishes a program that will expose individuals from disadvantaged areas of Ireland to business and social life of other communities and train individuals for job skills for which there are opportunities in Ireland. That translates into a lowcost. lowrisk. high return investment in peace in Northern Ireland. This bill will provide opportunities for residents of Ireland to have an experience that they can bring home with them to cultivate their economy and culture as the region enters into a new and promising era. That is why it is called the Northern Ireland Visa for Peace and Reconciliation Act. And I hope we call it law very soon. I believe some call it INNISFAILE.
