On the recordAugust 4, 1998
I would simply remind my distinguished colleague the gentleman from Ohio (Mr. Traficant) that I have seven daughters, and so these are issues of concern I think to any father. But let me remind my distinguished colleague also of the consideration of the H-1(b) visa vote forthcoming that would permit entry into this country with special visas of 65,000 skilled, skilled, workers because we cannot find them in our own labor force here in the United States. And I would urge that he look at Congress Daily, where it says, ``Business groups, especially high-tech companies, want to increase the current annual allotment of 65,000 H-1(b) visas per year to address what they say is a shortage of computer workers.'' And so we can have our honest disagreements on this. But I am so appreciative that the gentleman from Ohio (Mr. Traficant) is, nonetheless, supporting this bill we have under consideration today.
