           By Mr. ISSA:
       H.R. 9605.
       Congress has the power to enact this legislation pursuant 
     to the following:
       Article I, Section 8, clause 3 provides Congress with the 
     power to ``regulate commerce with foreign nations, and among 
     the several states, and with the Indian tribes.'' The Supreme 
     Court has held that Congress's power to regulate foreign 
     commerce includes the power to regulate the entry of persons 
     into the country. See Henderson v. Mayor of New York, 92 U.S. 
     259, 270-71 (1876).
       The single subject of this legislation is:
       To provide that any foreign government official who engages 
     in censorship of American speech is inadmissible and 
     deportable.
