Mr. President. this legislation in the end will not be necessary. Hopefully. we can take stock of the legalization program in a few weeks and find that the lastditch public education efforts by the Immigration Service and church and community groups are paying off. But I believe it is important not to lay the groundwork for an extension of the application period. should it be necessary. Throughout the debate over the Immigration Reform and Control Act we In this Chamber stated repeatedly that this legalization was a oneshot deal. If this is indeed to be a onetime effort. we need to be sure that the Job is complete before we close the books on this humane and important program. I ask.
