Mr. Speaker. I would like to announce to my colleagues in the House that yesterday the other body adopted by a resounding vote of 80 to 19 the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1982. This is the first major reform in the Nations immigration and nationality laws in 30 years. This great passage is a tribute to my colleague in the other body. the Junior Senator from Wyoming. He showed remarkable acumen and legislative ability in floor managing that bill. I am very proud to be the coauthor of the Immigration Reform and Control Act with the Junior Senator from Wyoming. That great vote yesterday is also a resounding tribute to the chairman of our full Committee on the Judiciary in the House. the gentleman from New Jersey. Mr. PETER RODINO. who has waged for many long and lonely years a battle to reform the Nations immigration laws. Particularly he has pushed for employers sanctions which is the centerpiece of our legislation and the one element that will gain control of our borders. The gentleman from New Jersey
