COMMISSION ON IMMIGRATION REFORM


Central Texas Roundtables

AGENCY: U.S. Commission on Immigration Reform.

ACTION: Announcement of Commission Roundtables.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

    This notice announces two roundtables to be held by the U.S. 
Commission on Immigration Reform in Austin, TX on January 18, 1995. The 
Commission, created by Section 141 of the Immigration Act of 1990, is 
mandated to review the implementation and impact of U.S. immigration 
policy and report its findings to Congress. An interim report, U.S. 
Immigration Policy: Restoring Credibility, was issued on September 30, 
1994; the final report is due in 1997.
    The roundtable participants will include the Commissioners, 
researchers, government officials, representatives of local 
organizations, and other experts. The first roundtable will examine the 
economic and labor impacts of immigration on Texas, with a focus on the 
Austin-San Antonio area. The Commission seeks to gain greater 
understanding of the effects of immigrants on the region's labor market 
(both high- and low-skill labor), the impact of employment-based 
immigration on high-tech industry, and immigration in the context of 
NAFTA.
    The second roundtable will focus on the effects of immigration on 
social and community relations in central Texas. Issues involving 
absorption of immigrants into the local community, naturalization and 
civic participation of immigrants, and the effect of immigrants on 
public services will be addressed.

dates: January 18, 1995.

time: 9:00 am-12:30 pm (Economic and Labor Impacts); 2:00 pm-5:00 pm
