It leaves the discretion for the implementation of these particular matters with the Attorney General and simply requires a consultation process designed to insure that the congressional intent and the practical logistics of implementing the legalization provisions are considered by the Attorney General. Consultation with Judiciary Committees will insure that the Members of Congress who have worked so diligently in formulating this bill. continue to have input in the very important decisionmaking process involved in implementing the legalization program. I think this concept has proven very effective. and successful. with the Refugee Act. which requires that the administration consult with the Congress in arriving at annual refugee quotas. I believe that this consultation would guarantee that the standards promulgated by the Attorney General in this area will be clear. consistent. and realistic. I also believe it would be extremely helpful for the Attorney General to consult with the members of the respective Judiciary Committees on the definition of the phrase "resided continuously." I have reviewed some of the case law in this area and there is disagreement among the Federal circuits on what constitutes continuous residence.
