Mr. President. I rise today to introduce a private bill for the relief of Corina Dechalup of France. My bill would grant permanent resident status to Corina. affording her the legal security she needs to rebuild her life in this country. Corina Dechalup first arrived in the United States from France in February 1990. She was admitted under the visa waiver pilot program after her thenfiancee Marin Turcinovic of Croatia was injured. Admitted on an H1 visa in January 1990. Marin was hit by a car in Fairview. New Jersey in February 1990. Both of his legs were shattered. His spinal cord was severed. leaving him paralyzed below the neck.
