Mr. Speaker. I want to compliment wholeheartedly the House conferees who brought back to the House this immigration legislation. This is far better legislation than the bill that passed the House several weeks ago. The conferees have done a fine job in finally working out adequate. comprehensive immigration legislation to replace inadequate. inequitable. antiquated legislation that badly needed change. Particularly I want to pay tribute to the gentleman in the well of the House. the gentleman from West Virginia . who I believe is one of the most knowledgeable. if not the most knowledgeable. Members in the Congress on immigration matters. I know of his long and diligent investigation of and work on immigration problems. I think all of us on both sides of the aisle owe him a debt of gratitude for his superb work. Although I have complimented all of the conferees.
