Mr. Chairman. I yield myself 30 seconds. simply to say that I think it is extremely unfair and extremely inaccurate for the advocates of this amendment to describe the bill as antifamily. It is not antifamily. What it does is recognize what the Jordan Commission observed. and that is that we have chain migration and we cannot continue forever allowing everyone who Is allowed to come into the country legally to bring in brothers and sisters. That is really what is at stake here. The same recommendation was made in 1981 by Father Hessburghs commission. It is not a radical proposal.
