Mr. Speaker. as chairman of the Judiciary Subcommittee on Immigration and Nationality. I will be attending an executive committee session of the Intergovernmental Committee for European MigrationICEMfrom Tuesday through Thursday. May 22 to 24 of this week. Since this meeting is of the utmost importance regarding matters within jurisdiction of the Immigration Subcommittee. I regret that I will be prevented from casting a favorable vote for H.R. 7200. This measure. which would extend the temporary increase in railroad retirement benefits approved by Congress last year. is vitally needed by a large segment of Americans on fixed incomes and has my very strong support.
