Mr. Speaker. I rise in support of H.R. 4823. This bill makes no major policy changes. Nonetheless. it is an important measure in that it corrects a number of deficiencies in current law. thereby making our immigration policy more consistent. more manageable. and more humane. The bill is similar in scope to a previous efficiency bill reported out of the Judiciary Committee and enacted into law in 1981. By every account. that 1981 legislation has proven sensible and effective in removing some of the rougher edges of our laws. H.R. 4823 continues in that same vein. addressing a number of additional problems which have come to our attention over the past 5 years.
