Speaker. most of the debate has centered thus far on the bill. Let me just say a couple things about the rule which is before us. Developing a rule which will allow the House to fully and fairly consider the immigration bill has been one of the most difficult tasks before the Committee on Rules during the past few years. This legislation is politically controversial. with very strong feelings on both sides. and it is technically complex. with many important issues to be decided. and four committees which reported amendments to the bill. Despite these difficulties. the rule that the committee has reported will allow the House to work its will in a responsible manner.
