Floor consideration must be thorough. but not repetitious. In the end. the House of Representatives must be permitted to express its will on this essential legislation. I wish to acknowledge the efforts of my Judiciary Committee colleagues to bring about immigration reform. The chairman of the Committee on the Judiciary. the gentleman from New Jersey. deserves credit for bringing up this bill in our committee at an early date in this Congress. The gentleman from Kentucky. the chairman of the Subcommittee on Immigration. Refugees. and International Law. has shown enormous resilience and skill in conducting our subcommittee hearings and markup again this Congress. The ranking minority member of the subcommittee. the gentleman from California. has worked tirelessly to bring this legislation to the floor. The Senate passed the Immigration Reform and Control Act over a year ago. The American people now are looking to us to help bring this major law reform effort to fruition. [l 1800
