Mr. Speaker. I make a point of order against the amendment. because it proposes to change existing law and constitutes legislation in an appropriation bill and. therefore. violates clause 2. rule XXI. and I point out that this amendment requires the Census Bureau. in order to have data that is reportable to the Governors a year from December. that they must adopt special rules. additional rules. and give the enumerators additional instructions. otherwise the data will not be reportable. It means that if he does not do that. that in the State of Texas. for example. if even one illegal alien is included in the data. he cannot report to the Governor of Texas the data to be used in their reapportionment. He is required to adopt these special rules and to give these enumerators special instructions. and so it is legislation on an appropriation bill.
