Chairman. this amendment is about priorities. I think we are all beginning to realize that there are limits to the Federal Governments generosity. and that we have to make some tough choices. My amendment faces up to that reality. sets priorities. and protects the benefits of the most deserving recipients. Without this amendment. American citizens and permanent residents would have to compete with illegal aliens for access to Legal Services Corporation benefits. The amendment addresses the section in H.R. 2039 that deals with alien eligibility for LSC services. Let me start by saying that I support many of the expansions in the bill.
