Mr. Speaker. I think it is known how strongly I feel about the right of legal. taxpaying immigrants in this country to be treated in a nondiscriminatory way with regard to the receipt of programs. the eligibility for programs as essential as Supplemental Security Income. I am very pleased that the Committee on Rules has made in order an amendment. with the support obviously of the gentleman from Now York [Mr. SOLOMoN3 but also the gentleman from Massachusetts . the ranking Member. and the support of the gentleman from Louisiana (Mr. Lr rNosToN]. chairman of the Committee on Appropriations. and the gentleman from Wisconsin . the ranking member. an amendment to restore for the duration of the fiscal year the eligibility of legal immigrants in the United States to receive Supplemental Security Income. We owe a very special debt. Mr.
