Mr. Speaker. I - thank the distinguished minority leader for yielding time to me. I rise to review the issues. There are two issues before Members today. One is of substance. one is of symbolism. On substance. this is the strangest. most peculiar veto override circumstance in the memory of this Member. Congress passed a bill to implement a narrow change in immigration policy relating to Chinese students in this country. The President. by Executive order. implemented the policy but vetoed the legislation. In one sense. the veto was gratuitous. in another sense. the override effort is equally gratuitous. In a policy way. the result is the same. whatever the override result.
