It seems to me. Mr. President. to be a responsible. sound position. which those who are concerned about the whole question of undocumented aliens coming into this country and threatening the marketplace for American jobs think that we ought to consider and act favorably on. The distinguished chairman of the Subcommittee on Immigration has outlined in very considerable detail the steps which are included in this legislation to respond to what I think are the legitimate concerns of growersthe expedited procedures that have been outlined and the other steps which have been included earlier in the RECORD. I certainly hope and urge that this body would accept the Simon amendment. We are all reminded today of the very important communication that we have received. all of us. from the National Committee for S. 1200. which includes former President Jerry Ford and a very distinguished group of Republicans and Democrats alike. who have been concerned with this issue for some period of time.
