This year. the story is different. Thanks to the hard work and careful study of members of the Committee on the Judiciary. the support of so many of our colleagues. the leadership of hundreds of distinguished citizens. and the sense of justice of our people generally. the differences have been resolved and the obstacles overcome and we have r. bill the great majority of us can support. As a sponsor of immigration reform legislation for several years. and as one who is privileged to represent a congressional district whose residents include many thousands of the foreignborn and their descendants. I am deeply gratified that the time has come when we can move ahead and adjust our immigration policy to conform to the highest ideals of our country. If credit must be given to what is truly a national demand for immigration reform. then it must be distributed equally between members of both political parties. For this is genuinely a bipartisan bill and I am confident that the vote to approve it will reflect this happy fact. For too many years.
