Mr. Speaker. I want to clarify two issues. No. 1. the administration wants the provision in title V that reimburses hospitals. public and private. nonprofit and proprietary. who treat illegal immigrants in emergency care. They want that reimbursement. They think that is the Federal obligation and they support it. Let there be no more fuzzing over that issue. Second. before we all get too high and mighty about what is happening. remember the Republican conference committee. where no one was allowed to offer an amendment. where the bipartisan relationships in both the Senate and House to put together a bill that passed the House and Senate were totally violated. where months went by without a conference committee. where things were changed so far beyond the scope of either Houses bill that the Committee on Rules had to grant a waiver of that and where no amendment was made.
