Session #98 · 1983–85

Speech #980188433

During that time. we have passed a budget resolution and a couple of important measures. but not much else. Earlier this week. the House acted on a bill to control the lamprey eel population in the Pere Marquette River. and I am hopeful that the other body will act on that measure soon. But when it comes down to action on such measures as a balanced budget constitutional amendment. immigration reform. criminal law reform. or consideration of the school prayer issue. somehow. the majority leadership just has not been able to find the time to schedule these important issues. Time and time again. Republican Members have attempted to bring these issues to the floor for consideration. but each time they are met with a wall of silence from the majority leadership. reflecting an indifference to the demands of the majority of the American people who want this Congress to act on these issues.
