Mr. Speaker. I rise in opposition to the rule. The Rules Committee. understandably reluctant to allow amendments to the CR. nonetheless believed six additional issues should be considered. The gentlelady from Connecticut. BARBARA KENNELLY. and I believed there should have been a seventh. As presently designed. the 1990 census will exclude those defending us overseas in the Armed Forces and will include millions of illegal aliens. Those serving in the Persian Gulf. Philippines. Korea. Germany. will not be counted nor will their dependents. Those whose contributions. sacrifice. and bravery we laud every Memorial Day. Fourth of July. and Veterans Day. will be excluded from the census.
