Mr. Speaker. some several months ago the gentleman from Kentucky took a moment before the start of the summer recess period to wish all the Members a very happy summer recess and to wish them enjoyment. and also to call attention to the fact that the Immigration Reform and Control Act. which had been reported by a 20to10 vote from the House Committee on the Judiciary. had still not had a chance to reach the floor for debate. So several months later. the gentleman from Kentucky is standing in the same House before the beginning of another vacation wishing to all Members of the House of Representatives a happy Christmas. happy Hanukkah. but also taking a moment to remind the House. and the Speaker of this House. of the fact that the Immigration Reform and Control Act. which was passed by a very substantial vote from the House Committee on the Judiciary in May of this year. remains lost or tied up or somehow incarcerated in the bowels and in the labyrinthine channels of the Hill. somehow screaming to be let out to have the sunshine allowed upon it. and somehow it remains tied up. So I would just. as the gentleman from Kentucky wishes all the Members well and to have a very happy. relaxing Thanksgiving and Christmas. also call attention to the fact that there is one measure which will not have a happy holiday. and that is H.R. 1510. the Immigration Reform and Control Act.
