Justice. State. and the Judiciary appropriations bill. This amendment would put the House on record opposing the inclusion of illegal aliens in the 1990 census for purposes of congressional reapportionment. It wuuld not prevent the Census Bureau from counting undocumented aliens. as is the current practice. but would merely prohibit the Bureau from making special efforts to include these individuals in the count. This amendment can only be offered. however. if a procedural motion is first defeated. A motion to "rise and report" H.R. 2991 back to the House from the Committee of the Whole will limit the opportunity for our amendment to be considered.
