The legislation before us is about the National Institutes of Health. It is for biomedical research. The nongermane amendment has to do with immigration. Immigration is not within the jurisdiction of our committee. although we have a concern about those matters when it overlaps the public health. There are serious and complicated policy questions that ought to be looked at before someone wants to take a bill on with the NIH and deal with this other matter. But even if the previous question was defeated. a nongermane amendment would not be in order and a point of order against that amendment would. as I understand it. lie. so I would hope our colleagues will let us pass the NIH bill.
