Mr. Speaker. the Denver Post is known for a moderate editorial policy. But in a recent editorial on the immigration bill they made the following reference to our Speaker. They said: Tip ONeills outrageous insult to the congressional process should not be allowed to stand unchallenged. ONeill has unilaterally set himself up as traffic cop to ensure that the SimpsonMazzoli immigration bill. already passed by the Senate. doesnt embarrass a bunch of scared lawmakers in the House." They conclude by saying: This legislation is too important to withhold from public debate. no matter how anyone votes later. Mr. Speaker. this issue is no longer simply immigration. It is a question of the democratic process itself. The American people will not and should not accept our refusal to address critical issues.
