The gentlemans amendment says that no part of the funds appropriated in this act may be used to pay the compensation of an officer of the Government of the United States or to reimburse a contractor for the employment of a person for work in the continental United States by any such person if such person is an alien who has not been lawfully admitted to the United States. Are we placing a burden upon the officer who has to make that determination? I know the gentleman had a case. a specific case that was referred to the Department of the Army. Frankly. I was appalled at the answer the gentleman received where they said. "Well. we have no authority to do anything about this." Does the gentleman have in mind the situation like that where somebody brings to their attention that there are or are believed to be illegal aliens and then require them to act on it?
