Mr. Speaker. I would like to address the House simply to bring to the Houses attention that we are on the verge of an historic moment in the history of this House. Tomorrow debate will begin on the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1982. a bill which for the first time in 30 years would reform in a correct. humane. and sensitive way the immi. gration laws of this Nation. The act would have an effect upon every American citizen in every district which we would represent. There has been some discussion. Mr. Speaker. that because of the lateness of the hour in this lameduck session. we would not have time to complete our work. in the careful way that the House operates. and still go to conference and return a conference report.
