Mr. President. last night. the Senator from Alaska and I introduced the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands Covenant Implementation Act. legislation to end immigration abuses in a U.S. territory know as the CNMI. This is a bipartisan reform bill. and the changes we propose were supported by the Clinton Administration during the 105th Congress. I commend my colleague from Alaska. Senator MURKOWSKI. for his leadership on CNMI reform. He traveled more than 10.000 miles to get a firsthand understanding of this issue. Our bill responds to the profound problems that we witnessed while visiting the CNMI. The Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands is a group of islands located in the far western Pacific.
