General Accounting Office [GAO] report concluded that States would need at least $450 million in fiscal year 1991. once again Congress has interrupted SLIAG funding by deferring the remaining $1.12 billion to fiscal year 1993. The uncertainty in future appropriations for the SLIAG Program reinforces the need to preserve State surpluses until the SLIAG Program ends in fiscal year 1994. I commend my distinguished colleague from Florida for his persistence and leadership in supporting full funding for the SLIAG Program. I also agree with my colleague that the States SLIAG programs are in jeopardy if they do not have adequate funds to provide the necessary services to legalized immigrants.
