Mr. President. under the terms of an amendment I offered during the Senates consideration in the last Congress of the Immigration Reform and Control Actknown better as the SimpsonRodino billthe General Accounting Office is required to make annual reports to Congress on the implementation of employer sanctions under the new law. The purpose of my amendment was to insure that an objective. independent review would be undertaken on the implementation of the new law to assure that some of the worst fears of those who opposed it would not. in fact. occur without Congress being forced to deal with them. Those fears were that widespread job discrimination might develop because of employer sanctions. or that a major new paperwork burden would be imposed upon employers across this Nation.
