What I want to do is read into the Record this statement. We are
working on a case of someone who is an Iraqi national, and this is a
letter written by someone who served with him in the military. I want
to read this very quickly:
I am contacting you regarding John, an Iraqi national who
earned a special immigration visa for his work with the U.S. Army over two different 3-year periods in Baghdad and another
region of Iraq. My personal acquaintance with him, where he is a translator
in a small 12-man military training team I led. The recent
executive order curtailing immigration from Iraq, along with
six other countries, has halted his plan to emigrate with his
family. He and his fellow translators provided an invaluable
service to the team. They braved the same dangers we all
faced.
