Re: "Efforts to track foreign students are said to lag" (front page, January 28):
The higher-education community did not delay implementation of the computerized foreign-student tracking system. The system is expected to be fully in place by 2003, the deadline set forth in the 1996 law mandating it. My organization's continuing efforts to work with the INS on a workable fee collection system will likewise not delay it, but rather will help to ensure its ability to function effectively.
