Consequently I introduced legislation calling for a guest worker program. I traveled to Mexico City to meet with President LopezPortillo. He was gratified at my efforts and indicated that he agreed in principle with the concept. Unfortunately. I was unable to convince all of my colleagues on the merit of the guest worker program. I am grateful. however. that the House of Representatives did not pass the omnibus immigration bill until some of the difficulties surrounding the matter of illegal aliens are resolved. I only hope that these solutions will be pursued in concert with the Mexicans. During the 96th Congress.
