SUPPORTED BY THE GERMAN MARSHALL FUND OF THE UNITED STATES BRYAN PAUL CHRISTIAN* I. INTRODUCTION The March 27-29 workshop on migration management, co-organized by Georgetown University's Institute for the Study of International Migration and the Centre d'Etude des Politiques d'Immigration, d'Integration et de Citoyennet6 at France's National Political Science Foundation and sponsored by the German Marshall Fund of the United States, formed part of a series of conferences to promote trans-Atlantic dialogue on migration issues. The conference involved representatives from the public and private sectors in North America, Europe and Australia. The workshop consisted of four separate discussion sessions. Each discussion sought to raise a set of policy issues that require further attention and will comprise an agenda for further work on visa policy, inspection, and exit controls. To launch each session, two or three conference participants introduced the key issues to be discussed. The remaining time was devoted to general discussion of these issues. The workshop's final component consisted of a visit to the Forensic Document Laboratory of the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS). II. VISA POLICY: CONTROLLING UNAUTHORIZED ENTRY A.
