Speaker. at a later date I am sure we are going to have ample opportunity in a special order to express our feelings for the distinguished gentleman from Arizona. who has been a very close and dear friend in all of the years that I have been here. but for the present let me just say that I wish him well and that we will be talking about him a little later on. As far as this rule is concerned. Mr. Speaker. I do not believe that the immigration bill should be debated in this lameduck session at this late stage of the session. This bill covers the waterfront on Immigration policy for the United States. The mere fact that it has a 5hour rule tells us how important it is and how important the consequences of passing a bill at this later hour under the atmosphere that we have in this House at this particular time. It is not conducive to the best interests of this country.
