*参议院多数党领袖提出移民改革议案
美国参议院多数党领袖比尔.弗里斯特星期三提出一项移民改革议案，其中没有包
括有争议的临时劳工计划。
弗里斯特星期三在介绍这项议案时说，他不同意参议院司法委员会本星期早些时
候通过的建议设立客工计划的议案。这位共和党参议员说，这个计划相当于某种
形式的大赦，会损害加强边防的努力。
司法委员会主席斯佩克特参议员不同意弗里斯特的观点。他说，司法委员会提出
的临时劳工计划不会大赦非法移民，而是会提供一种方式，来识别美国境内估计
为1100万的无证件劳工(非法移民)的身份。
Senate Majority Leader Introduces Immigration Reform Legislation
Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist has introduced immigration reform
legislation that does not include a controversial temporary worker
program.
In presenting his plan Wednesday, Senator Frist said he disagreed with a
plan put forth by the Senate Judiciary Committee earlier this week that
would create a guest worker program. The Republican senator said the
program amounted to a form of amnesty and would undermine efforts to
secure the nation's borders.
The chairman of the Judiciary Committee, Senator Arlen Specter,
disagreed with his Republican colleague. He said the committee's
proposed temporary worker program did not provide amnesty for illegal
immigrants and would provide a way to identify the estimated 11-million
undocumented workers in the country.
*白蛾威胁北京绿色奥运会计划
新华社星期四报导说，成群的美国白蛾在威胁破坏2008年北京举行一个绿色的、
保护环境的国际奥运会的计划。
新华社今天援引国家林业局的话说，如果白蛾不能得到控制，北京的绿色奥运会
将成为褐色奥运会。
报导说，这些吃树叶子的昆虫和他们的幼虫已经吃掉首都周围村庄至少5万棵树。
报导说，白蛾还威胁中国6个省100多个县的植物和庄稼。
国家林业局说，计划进行灭虫运动，包括使用农药和白蛾的天敌。
White Moth Threatens Green Olympics
China's official Xinhua news agency says swarms of American White Moths
are threatening to wreak havoc on Beijing's plan to hold a "green" -- or
environmentally friendly -- Olympics in 2008.
Xinhua quotes the State Forestry Administration today (Thursday) saying
that Beijing's "green" Olympics might turn brown if the moths are not
controlled.
It says the leaf-devouring insects and their larvae have chewed up at
least 50-thousand trees in villages around China's capital.
The report said the moths are threatening plants and crops in more than
100 counties in six provinces in China.
The forestry administration says it plans to launch an extermination
campaign that includes insecticides and natural enemies of the moths.
