Speaker. this afternoon. perhaps midafternoon. the House will have an opportunity to take a vote on the rule which will provide for the consideration of the immigration reform bill. I would ask and earnestly implore all of the Members to vote for the rule. The rule is open and fair. It is not restrictive. The Rules Committee has made 69 amendments in all shades of degree in order to the bill. The bill. despite what the Members may have heard. is not a partisan bill. It came out of my Immigration Subcommittee twice. Democrats and Republicans voted for it. It came out of the Judiciary Committee twice.
