Mr. President. while we are waiting the arrival of Senator THURMOND. who had a committee meeting. let me state my own opposition to the committee amendment now pending. which would delete language approved by the House of Representatives prohibiting Legal Services activities on behalf of illegal aliens. that is to say. people who are unlawfully in this country. The House language prohibits 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. I think I see clearly the intent of the House. and I agree with it. The intent of the House of Representatives is to stress that these funds.
