Mr. Speaker. I thank the distinguished gentleman for yielding time to me. Let me answer in two parts. One is yea on the SSI legal immigrant. That is an issue that we announced this morning that we will have public witnesses and public hearings sessions probably within the next 2 or 3 weeks. And hopefully. we will get the instructions from the full committee chairman. the gentleman from Illinois . as to how we should proceed in this particular area. It is clear. Mr. Speaker. that we need to go back and revamp this whole emergency unemployment compensation. unemployment compensation in general. that we need to get it before the committee and move with the bill with the leadership and. hopefully. with bipartisan support in this Congress to really address this problem. rather than coming back to this House floor every 3 or 4 months in these emergency unemployment crises that we are faced with as it relates to the compensation package.
