On the recordMarch 21, 1996

Mr. Chairman, briefly, this amendment would extend the temporary program and allow foreign nurses into the United States for another six months. Case closed. I mean, we need more foreign nurses coming into the United States for longer periods of time like Hershey needs candy bars. So that is not a good deal, because the current supply of nurses is adequate and may even increase in the coming years due to the downsizing of the American health industry. I hope my colleague will answer this before the debate is over.
