Speaker. we have heard a lot of complaints this week about what some Members of the majority call "legislating on appropriation bills." There are even rumors going around that if what passes for the majority party right now controls this Congress in January. they will move to change the rules and limit the right of the peoples Representatives to reflect the will of the people. Let us recap what we did last week in some of these amendments: We voted to block the use of tax dollars to finance abortions for Federal employees. We voted to protect religious schools from harassment by the IRS. We voted to prohibit President Carters plan to withhold Federal taxes on interest from savings from going into effect. We voted to prevent the Customs Service from hamstringing trade with Free China. We voted to prevent the counting of illegal aliens in the census. Mr. Speaker. these are terrible things that we accomplished this last week.
