Mr. Speaker. the question of whether Congress should have authority to block certain Executive actions by simple or concurrent resolutions is very much in the news lately. This week. the Supreme Court hears oral arguments on the constitutionality of the legislative veto in the immigration law in the case of Chadha against INS. A month ago. a threejudge p 0nel fur the U.S. court of appeals here held the legislative veto unconstitutional in the Natural Gas Policy Act. and implied that all legislative veto provisions not requiring Presidential involvement wee unconstitutional. This session. the House and Senate will be considering regulatory reform legislation which will include consideration of amendments to permit one or both Kouses to disapprove proposed regulations.
