Speaker. I would like to reiterate what the Imme. diately preceding speaker said. We have an opportunity to do something about an issue that is very much in the forefront of the minds of many of our constituents. that is. the question of immigration policy. For 30 years we have failed to act in a substantial and comprehensive way. The problem is that the national interest truly requires that we do something. Unfortunately. very special interests would be well served if we did nothing. This I think is a test of this Congress. whether in the waning days the special interests will win out. or whether we will address something that needs to be a. dressed in the name of the national interest. We have an administration. the first one in about 30 years. that has bitten the bullet and attempted to try to do something about our immigration problems. This bill has passed the Senate. All it needs is for us to take some time to work out the problems here on the floor of the House so that we can have a conference and send it to the President for his signature.
