We minimize confusion by sticking to the rules of the game which have already been communicated to so many employers. And we reduce employer fears by treading softly on enforcement. I am satisfied with the assurances we have received on this issue from the Immigration and Naturalization Service. And I can assure my colleagues that we will be watching this matter carefully within the subcommittee. As with any major new law. there is initially some uncertainty in its implementation. I think we all knew in passing the Immigration Reform and Control Act that this was inevitable. But I believe the steps which I have mentioned will serve to control the chaos. I fear the DeConcini amendment will merely add to it. especially since it is now clear that this supplemental appropriations bill will clearly not be signed into law until well after June 1. making the DeConcini amendment far too late to accomplish its objectivesobjectives which INS is already committed to follow in any case.
