They deserve our gratitude and admiration for their work. I also give credit to my good friend and colleague from Connecticut. Congressman BRUCE MORRISON. the chairman of the Subcommittee on Immigration in the House Judiciary Committee. I think both of my colleagues from Wyoming and Massachusetts agree that without his leadership there would not have been a bill that emerged from the House. BRUCE MORRISON has been a longtime advocate of broader immigration policy. of fair immigration policy. His work as an attorney for the Legal Aid Society in Connecticut goes back many. many years. So I want to pay a special tribute to him as well for his fine leadership in this legislation. I have known BRUCE a long time. I know why BRUCE wanted to chair the Immigration Subcommittee. BRUCE MORRISON remembers being a legal aid attorney trying to work with an outdated immigration law. to try to avert the pain and suffering it caused. the opportunities it missed. Now. that we have a major reform law that opens the door for thousands of newcomers from Ireland. from Italy. from Poland. these ethnic communities will know that no one championed their cause with greater vigor and determination than BRUCE MORRISON. This bill. that could rightly be called the Morrison bill. will enter history as a major accomplishment of the 101st Congress.
