First of all. Mr. Speaker. let me thank my colleague. the gentleman from Massachusetts. for yielding this time to me to say that while I am going to vote against this resolution. I congratulate him for his efforts. I think it is absurd that we are passing a $30 million unauthorized appropriation for educating the illegal aliens whom we cannot deal with in the bill which is not being brought up by the Speaker. Nonetheless. I want to take this time to say directly that the gentleman from Massachusetts has done an outstanding job. Faced with the fourth successive effort by the majority leader to add over $1 billion to the debt our grandchildren will be paying. the gentleman from Massachusetts showed great courage and great tenacity. and I think that the entire minority team on appropriations deserves to be commended for their work in what has been a very difficult 3 or 4 days.
