Members can vote for the popular position on a bill without the threat of that position becoming law. The Senate amendment on Federal work force reductions is the most recent example of this abuse. The overwhelming vote in both Chambers also contradicts a contention by some of our colleagues that the work force reduction amendment was only a tactic to delay approval of this bill. Needless to say. Mr. Speaker. we would not be here debating this measure had the Democrat leadership not tried to force the House to choose between benefits to unemployed Americans and benefits to immigrant aliens. Mr. Speaker.
