Speech #1040246042

In offering this amendment. we are merely attempting to ensure that the indigent of our Nation have some access to the courts. This Congress. through the appropriations process. made significant changes to the structure of the administration of the Legal Services Corporation. Most. If not all. of the concerns and objections about the program were responded to. Legislative language. including the appropriations bills. included appropriate restrictions on class action lawsuits. legal assistance to illegal aliens. or representing individuals evicted from public housing due to sale of drugs. These were all changed. Now it Is time to let the program operate to fulfill the purposes which we all endorsed. to meet the daytoday legal problems of the poor.
