Abstract	This document presents the text of a Congressional hearing called to discuss H.R. 1019, To Provide an Experience of Life in the United States for Children from Areas Affected by Civil Strife in Ireland. Congressman Pat Williams, sponsor of the bill, describes the bill as allowing local education agencies to offer an opportunity for children from Ireland to come to America for one school year; attend an American school; affiliate with children of various ethnic, religious, social, and cultural backgrounds; and experience life generally in the United States. John Hume, member of the British Parliament, testifies in support of the bill but questions the age of children to be affected by it, suggesting that an exchange program of college students between Irish and American universities would be most beneficial. Paul Quinn, attorney, commends the proposal and supports its passage. Judy McLennan, co-chairman of the Belfast Children's Program, describes her program which places children from Northern Ireland with American families for 6 weeks during the summer, and supports passage of H.R. 1019. Abigail McNamee, associate professor, Herbert H. Lehman College of New York, describes the educational system in Northern Ireland and the developmental characteristics of the children. Joseph McNamee, director of Psychological Alternatives, P.C. discusses the potential benefit of the program proposed in H.R. 1019 and gives 13 recommendations for the program. Prepared statements, letters, and supplemental materials are included. (NB)
