HEFLIN. and DoLE. Mr. President. the established policy of the Bureau of the Census is to count every inhabitant in this country without making an adjustment for illegal aliens. and the Census Bureau plans to continue this policy in 1990 when they take the census. If this policy is allowed to continue. some States will lose congressional representation which they would not otherwise lose. The basic rights of representation in our country are violated when voters in States with a large number of illegal aliens have a greater voice in choosing representatives in Congress. As the Supreme Court stated in Wesberry v. Sanders. 376 U.S. 1 (1963): No right is more precious in a free country than that of having a voice in the election of those who make the laws under which. as good citizens. we must live.
