Mr. President. I rise in opposition to the Gregg amendment. This amendment would literally destroy the diversity visa program and threaten the jobs of American citizens. It would make worse the brain drain which is occurring now. where some of the most talented people from the poorest countries in the world are migrating to the United States. This mornings New York Times had an important story. a story about how the United States. through this legislation and other efforts. plans to lure nurses from some of the poorest countries on Earth. I visited some of those countries. Senator BROWNBACK of Kansas and I were there just last December. in Democratic Republic of Congo.
