Justice. and Commerce. the judiciary. and related agencies appropriation bill. fiscal year 1980. Mr. President. this conference report contains a provision prohibiting the use of Federal funds appropriated to the Legal Services Corporation for activities on behalf of any alien known to be in the United States in violation of the Immigration and Nationality Act or any law. convention. or treaty of the United States relating to the immigration. exclusion. deportation or expulsion of aliens. This provision. which was part of the House bill. was specifically rejected during the Senate Appropriations Committee consideration of this bill and was never considered by the Senate itself. I am strongly opposed to this type of discrimination in the provision of legal services to any group of individuals who are in need of legal assistance and the protections of our judicial system.
