Speech #960293016

On June 19. the Supreme Court denied jurisdiction over an immediate appeal of the adverse decison handed down by the D.C. District Court in this matter. but the case is still very much alive in the Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia. In closing. States and Members of this body have recognized that millions of Americans may lose some of their constitutional rights if illegal immigrants are included in the rapportlonment base. and I would hope that we would adopt this sensible. equitable amendment today and prevent the administration from submitting reapportionment data until it represents an accurate count of U.S. citizens. I The CHAIRMAN. The time of the gentleman from Pennsylvania has expired.
