Nonetheless. the conferees strongly urged the Congress to consider this issue early next Congress. and for my part I pledge to my colleagues. and in particular to my distinguished colleague and friend from the Rules Committee. the gentleman from Massachusetts. that I will do everything within my power to ensure that this important question is fully and expeditiously considered in the next Congress. Regarding legal services for H2 workers. the agreement again strikes what I think is a very sensible compromise. Workers will have access to such services but only for the purpose of strictly defined workrelated purposes. This ensures that workers will receive the protections they need but will not burden our legal services capabilities. Finally. the bill includes more money for Border Patrol enforcement than ever before. In fact. it authorizes at least a 50percent increase in Border Patrol officers. Mr. Speaker. the conference was a tough and arduous process.
