You might even ask another question. The Speaker of the House revealed 2 months ago that Mr. Mondale had called him personally and begged virtually that the Speaker postpone consideration of the immigration bill on this floor. One that the House of Representatives was very divided on. It ran across different philosophical and political lines. But the reason he asked him to postpone. I thought was interesting. He said: Can you please postpone it past the primary in California so that I dont have to take a position on it and members of my party dont have to take positions on it prior to the time that the people in California are going to cast their vote.
