Mr. Speaker. an issue of particualr concern in Los Angeles is the Simpson/Mazzoli Immigration and Reform Act of 1983. Although it is agreed that immigration reform is needed. and that Senator SIMPSON and Representative MAzZOLI have done a commendable job in trying to develop a workable solution. the legislation pending before the House will not accomplish fair and compassionate reform. I would like to share with my colleagues a statement supported by several religious leaders and organizations under the auspices of the Episcopal Diocese of Los Angeles. Although I do not necessarily embrace all of its recommendations. it properly highlights many of the criticisms voiced by my constituents.
