Hi there!

Did anybody find or locate the new federal law which allows Chinese
students covered by CSPA to work in US federal government?

If somebody found it, could you please send me a copy or tell me the location
so I may ftp it myself.  Anyway, what's the law's number?

Thanks.

The "rumor" said the Public Law number is 103-503, but according to
the local library, the latest no published is still in 2xx.  CND said
that P.L. 102-141 can be used (I forgot the date of the CND post, but
it goes back to 1991!), so I checked P.L. 102-141.  It did not say
clearly the government can hire us, but maybe my poor English...
anyway, here it is:  Do you think we can use it to convince our
potential employer?  Thanks:

The original CSPA is Pub-Law 102-404, was enacted on Oct. 9, 1992.  The 
most recent Pub-Law related to CSPA is Pub-Law 103-123, which was enacted 
on Oct. 28, 1993, Section 606 is the part you need. 

You can go to your local law library, and find it without any problem.
