KENNEDY] and the gentlewoman from Florida (Ms. RosLlrrImEN] and many others have worked very diligently on this. and I certainly want to thank them for the time they have put on it. and I apprf.ciate their sensitivity to this problem which we worked in a bipartisan basli to get to this far. So r want to gay to the House today that we are offering this amendment for the good of the SSI recipients throughout this country who are legal Immigrants. who have been In this country. who have been responsible In terms of their taxpaying dues. who have boon responsible as good and worthwhile legal immigrants and who deserve in their elderly state of mind. and who deserve. those who are disabled and who deserve. those who are young and unable to work. they deserve this kind of attention from the Congress to say that we will extend the time. give them a time to get the benefits that they so much deserve. So what this amendment will do. will do what the Congress wants to do. Is to give us time to have our colleagues vote and act on the additional moneys which has already been recommended to them to come before the end of the year.
