Mr. President. I am opposed to this amendment because the fees for L visas would raise funds but would do nothing to fill very important jobs in the United States. The existing plan submitted by the Judiciary Committee imposes a fee. but it extends the H1B visa and recaptures the visas which were not used in the last 5 years. There are very careful safeguards so that U.S. jobs are not lost. I understand the position of the distinguished Senator from West Virginia. the position of the unions. but I believe their concerns are misplaced and that there is a real need for these positions of highly skilled professionals.
