He studied every issue that he was about to vote on the House floor. often agonized over votes where there was a conflict. at least ideologically. between a national issue and the views of his constituency. He always made sure that the vote he cast was the right vote. not just for his district. but also for the national interests. He left a great example that all of us could well follow. Clearly. his great legacy will be that in the field of immigration. The SimpsonMazzoli Act that shapes the current body of immigration laws Is one that scholars. attorneys. and Federal agency administrators will pour over for years to come. It was his great legacy. along with many other issues that were listed by our chairman. For me. this is a very personal matter.
