           Bi-Partisan Capitol Hill Press Conference 
                   on Immigration Legislation

  Firmly standing against the unprecedented slash on legal immigra-
tion and business related immigration, Senators Spencer Abraham (R-
MI), Mike Dewine (R-OH), Arlen Specter  (R-PA)  and  several  other 
Senators on the Judiciary Committee will lead  a  press  conference
this afternoon, bringing together a broad  coalition  of  interests 
who are united in an effort to split the pending immigration  bill. 
The Senate Judiciary Committee is poised  to  begin  discussing and 
voting on S. 1394 on Thursday, February 29.   We will brief you any 
update information as quickly as we can.

  As stated by National Immigration Forum, the coalition for prote-
cting legal immigration enjoys a broad spectrum of support.    From
House  Republican  Leader  Richard  Armey  to  the Form's Executive 
Director Barney Frank; from the AFL-CIO to the National Association 
of Manufacturers; from the Small  Business  Survival  Committee  to 
Microsoft; from Americans for Tax Reform to the National Council of 
La Raza; and from the   Washington Times to the Los Angeles Times - 
all agree on this: Congress should focus on the priority problem of 
illegal immigration and debate  legal  immigration  separately  and 
later.

  Please register your support for splitting legislations on  legal 
and illegal immigrations by phone call, fax or e-mail to:  simpson_
[email-masked].

  Thanks for your attention.
