Mr. Speaker. I would like to discuss just for a moment an issued that directly affects you. the people you represent. and the very essence of this Chamber. in fact. the essence of representative government. As presently designated. the 1990 census which is constitutionally mandated will count and will include illegal aliens. those who are here without the consent of the governed. The 1990 census as presently designated will exclude American servicemen and their dependents who are serving overseas. Now. think about that for a moment. Those who are here without the consent of the governed will be counted and included to determine the apportionment in individual States and who will actually govern.
