Chairman. I yield myself 30 seconds. Just for the purposes of edification for the Members here. let me read another paragraph from the letter from Secretary Shalala: Under current law as well as under H.R. 2202. the only Federal public health benefits and services for which undocumented Immigrants are eligible are emergency medical services. immunizations. and testing for communicable diseases. These exceptions are made to provide immediate protection for the seriously ill and to protect the public health from disease that may otherwise go untreated In the community. The situation the gentleman from California raised cannot occur under current law.
