SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

The Congress finds that--
            (1) heart disease and strokes lead to about 2\1/2\ times as 
        many deaths among Black Americans (between the ages of 25 and 
        44) as among White Americans;
            (2) diabetes is twice as prevalent among Mexican- and 
        Puerto Rican-Americans as among White Americans;
            (3) Black and Hispanic women account for 73 percent of the 
        reported cases of AIDS among American women, and the death rate 
        from AIDS is 9 times higher among Black women than among White 
        women;
            (4) between 1983 and 1985, when the infant mortality rate 
        among Whites was 9.0 deaths per 1,000 live births, the infant 
        mortality rate among Blacks was 18.7 and 13.9 among Native 
        Americans, with similar disparities among rates of low-
        birthweight babies;
            (5) in 1988, when the rates of death resulting from 
        homicides was 8 per 100,000 among young (ages 15 to 24) White 
        males, the rate among young Black males was 59 per 100,000, and 
        the rates for young Hispanic and Native American males was 
        roughly 2 to 3 times that of young White males;
            (6) biomedical research, including clinical trials for 
        pharmaceuticals, often has failed to include minorities in the 
        population being studied or tested, even when it is certain 
        that minorities will be among the population subject to the 
        medical condition or receiving the treatment or pharmaceutical 
        that is being studied or tested;
            (7) the percentages of medical professionals, especially 
        physicians, who are minorities are significantly lower than 
        their representation in the general population; and
            (8) the ratio of physicians to inhabitants of neighborhoods 
        that are heavily populated by minorities (or low-income 
        residents) is often much lower than the ratio of physicians to 
        inhabitants of predominantly White neighborhoods.

        described in subsection (b) shall be adjusted by the Attorney 
        General to that of an alien lawfully admitted for permanent 
        residence, if the alien--
                    (A) applies for such adjustment; and
                    (B) is otherwise eligible to receive an immigrant 
                visa and is otherwise admissible to the United States 
                for permanent residence, except in determining such

                212(a) of the Immigration and Nationality Act shall not 
                apply.
            (2) Relationship of application to certain orders.--An 
        alien present in the United States who has been ordered

        from the United States under any provision of the Immigration 
        and Nationality Act may, notwithstanding such order, apply for

        be required, as a condition on submitting or granting such 
        application, to file a motion to reopen, reconsider, or vacate 
        such order. If the Attorney General grants the application, the 
        Attorney General shall cancel the order. If the Attorney 
        General renders a final administrative decision to deny the 
        application, the order shall be effective and enforceable to 
        the same extent as if the application had not been made.

        or removal or exclusion to seek a stay of such order based on 
        the filing of an application under subsection (a).
            (2) During certain proceedings.--Notwithstanding any 
        provision of the Immigration and Nationality Act, the Attorney 
        General shall not order any alien to be removed from the United 
        States, if the alien is in exclusion, deportation, or removal 
        proceedings under any provision of such Act and raises as a 
        defense to such an order the eligibility of the alien to apply 
        for adjustment of status under subsection (a), except where the 
        Attorney General has rendered a final administrative 
        determination to deny the application.
    (d) Availability of Administrative Review.--The Attorney General 
shall provide to applicants for adjustment of status under subsection 
(a) the same right to, and procedures for, administrative review as are 
provided to--
            (1) applicants for adjustment of status under section 245 
        of the Immigration and Nationality Act; or
            (2) aliens subject to removal proceedings under section 240

granted the status of having been lawfully admitted for permanent 
residence pursuant to this section, the Secretary of State shall not be 
required to reduce the number of immigrant visas authorized to be

held to repeal, amend, alter, modify, effect, or restrict the powers, 
duties, functions, or authority of the Attorney General in the 
administration and enforcement of such Act or any other law relating to 
immigration, nationality, or naturalization. The fact that an alien may 
be eligible to be granted the status of having been lawfully admitted 
for permanent residence under this section shall not preclude the alien 
from seeking such status under any other provision of law for which the 
alien may be eligible.
