Chairman. I rise In strong support of this amendment. It would give us the time we need to work out the details of the budget agreement and provide appropriate relief to elderly and disabled noncitizens. In my district. many legal residents have worked hard in America. paid taxes for 10. 20. 30. 40 years. and some of those folks now depend on SST and some of the benefits provided by this Government. I have worked hard with the Polish American Congress and other organizations in the Polish and Hispanic communities to make sure that those who want to apply for citizenship can do so promptly. get their applications processed promptly. and continue to receive their benefits as American citizens. and I would like to commend the INS office In Hartford for its tremendous cooperation at this time.
