In this regard. some members may recall that I was prepared to offer amendments to the LSC reauthorization pending before the House in the waning days of the 96th Congresslegislation which was never acted upon. Further. I intend to support several of the amendments offered during the current debate. there is clearly need for additional statutory restriction. The problem. Mr. Chairman. is that while LSC grantees are currently prohibited from using Federal funds. for example. to represent illegal aliens. or to engage in lobbying or political activities. LSC attorneys have consistently interpreted the relevant statutes in a manner to make them all but meaningless. No action of Congress. short of terminating the LSC. can resolve this intolerable situation.
