Mr. Speaker. I would like to suggest that one way that we might substantively express our appreciation for what KoreanAmericans have done for this countrys economy and society is to pass the Visa Waiver bill. I am a sponsor of this. and what it would do is to grant the same kind of opportunities for Koreans to come from South Korea and to visit their relatives as are granted to 27 other countries. including all of our European allies and many of our Asian allies. Bosnia and Japan. for example. Yet today. there are thousands of South Korean families waiting in line. trying to get a visa to visit their own families here in the United States of America. They are not able to because they are not afforded the same visa waiver that our other allies are. In fact. they are really the only strong ally that is not granted that privilege. I think we should grant that privilege. and I think that would be a further expression of the very strong and genuine sentiments that are expressed in this resolution.
