The DomeniciHollings amendment contains important restrictions on the use of funds by the Legal Services Corporation. These restrictions. which were also supported by the House. are necessary to ensure that abuses that have occurred in the past do not continue. The funding that is provided under this amendment can not be used for things like class actions. lobbying. or representing illegal aliens. These restrictions are to ensure that funding is used to provide the traditional legal services that are most needed by poor people. I want to thank the Senator from New Mexico and his staff for accommodating the special needs of Native Americans and those in areas like Alaska where travel to remote villages increases costs.
