Mr. President. I am very concerned about the funding level for the State legalization impact assistance grants. [SLIAG]. programs. The Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986. CIRCA]. provided a total of $4 billion to be appropriated between fiscal year 1988 and fiscal year 1991 to reimburse State and local governments for the costs of health care. public assistance. literacy and education training for newly legalized aliens. Last year the Labor. Health and Human Services. Education conference committee deferred $1.123 billion from fiscal year 1992 to fiscal year 1993. Despite this action. the conferees affirmed their support for SLIAG and expressed their intention to fund the program in fiscal year 1993: The deferral was based on the need to achieve outlay savings in 1992. and does not represent a permanent reduction in funds available to States.
