The Honorable Janet Napolitano

CEO Sign on Letter, House
Dear Member of Congress:
Congress has an opportunity before it adjourns to help advance U.S. innovation leadership by
enacting H.R. 5882, a modest, bipartisan bill that would simply “recapture” employment-based
immigrant visas numbers that Congress authorized in prior fiscal years, but that went unused due
to government processing delays. H.R. 5882 is a common sense measure that should be enacted
without delay this year.
CEO Sign on Letter, Senate
Dear Senator:
Congress has an opportunity before it adjourns to help advance U.S. innovation leadership by
enacting a modest reform in our nation’s permanent resident (“green card”) program that would
simply “recapture” green cards that Congress previously authorized in prior fiscal years, but
went unused due to government processing delays. Senators Robert Menendez, Patty Murray
and others have included a “recapture” proposal as part of S. 3414, and we urge you to support
enactment of this proposal without delay this year.
Reforms to Our Nation’s Immigration Laws
Dear Members of the House of Representatives:
We, the undersigned associations, coalitions and organizations, have been working with you, and your fellow colleagues in the House, on much-needed reforms to our nation’s immigration laws.
