Mr. President. at the recent executive council session of the AFLCIO in Bal Harbour. Fla.. the council unanimously adopted an Important statement on the need for immigration reform. Today. Lane Kirkland. president of the AFCIO. elaborated on this statement in testimony before the Subcommittee on Immigration and Refugee Policy. I believe it is an extraordinarily thoughtful statement. one that reflects the longstanding concern of the American labor movement over immigration reform. It also outlines an enlightened and humane approach to this complex issue. and I would like to share it with my colleagues. Mr. President. I ask that todays testimony by Lane Kirkland and the Bal Harbour statement by the AFLCIO executive council be printed at this point in the RECORD.
