WEISS. on the basis that the amendment is not germane to title V of the bill. The Chair has examined title V entitled "Other Assistance Programs." and has determined that each of the programs covered in title V of the bill now before the committee relates to a financial assistance program of one sort or another. As the gentleman from Wisconsin pointed out in his argument on the point of order. the subject matter contained in the amendment proposed and offered by the gentleman from New York relates to a matter of immigration status and not to a financial assistance program. The gentleman from New York has pointed out that there are other provisions in the bill which relate to humanitarian or economic assistance for El Salvador. But the Chair has noted again that these relate to economic assistance programs or humanitarian assistance programs of a financial nature and not to immigrations status. Therefore. it is the opinion of the Chair that the amendment offered by the gentleman from New York is not germane to title V of the bill and the point of order is sustained.
