Then we look at a number of the other items. Well. it has been stated time and time again the legislation that deals with the Departments of Health and Human Services. and Labor. clearly is an overwhelmingly large bill. and there are many items in it. but it seems to me that it is our responsibility to deal. as well as we can. with them. and this rule. while it may not be perfect. is. quite frankly. the best product that can be assembled. I am disappointed that things like the Riggs amendment were not made in order that would allow us to deal with the issue of illegal immigration. and I can point to other aspects of it that I believe should have been addressed. But we need to move forward. This is an extraordinarily important appropriations bill. and I hope very much that our Members will come to the conclusion that providing support for this rule will at least allow us to consider this very important legislation.
