Mr. Speaker. House Resolution 538 provides for a correcting mechanism that would delete a provision from the conference report on S. 358 The Immigration Act of 1989 that some members objected to when the rule was last considered. The rule provides upon adoption. the House is deemed to have passed House Concurrent Resolution In addition. Mr. Speaker the rule provides that upon the receipt of a message from the Senate informing the House of the adoption of the concurrent resolution. it shall be in order to consider the conference report on the bill S. 358. the Immigration Act of Mr. Speaker. the rule waives all points of order against the conference report and against its consideration. The rule further provides that the conference report shall be considered as having been read with called up consideration. Mr. Speaker. this rule allows the House a second opportunity to pass important and much needed immigration legislation before we adjourn the 101st Congress. I am sure that Members are aware of the circumstances concerning this legislation so I will not spend too much time going over the provisions in the conference report. However.
