To use the Presidents specific message yesterday as some indication that he does not support comprehensive reform. and does not wish to go forward with the conference. is frankly an attempt to fool the American people. The President sent the original legislation up here 36 months ago. We "diddledaddled" around this place for so long. Tl~e Speaker himself made sure that we did not deal with the question of immigration reform until very late in this session. July 2 .1 8 We complained all along last year that such a delay would place it right in the midst of the Democratic Presidential primary season and then finally bring it right into the Democratic and Republican conventions. Well.
