There are more reasons to oppose House Joint Resolution 395 than simply the money figures. The continuing resolution is once again being used as a vehicle to enact legislative proposalsa violation of House rulesbut only those proposals offered by the Speaker and his supporters. This bill will allow the Census Bureau to continue a policy of counting illegal aliens. and not U.S. military personnel stationed overseas. for the purpose of redistricting after the 1990 census. This policy will mean lost congressional districts in States in the Northeast and Midwest. and gained seats in Texas. home of the Rules Committee chairman. and California. home of the Democrat Whip and other key committee chairmen. House Joint Resolution 395 also includes codification of the fairness doctrine. even though the rules of the House prevent the addition of legislative proposals to an appropriations bill. and the House defeated it last year.
