As the gentleman from Kentucky has mentioned. we are checking all names. and my colleagues might be surprised at the results. since all the discussion here has been about those with Spanish surnames. The number of Vietnamese names is very. very large on the list in question. and other nationalities appear as well. It appears that there may have been an organization in Orange County. which is why we are looking at all of Orange County. that deliberately encouraged noncitizens to register to vote. In other words. this organization may have been using noncitizens in citizenship classes and encouraging them to register to vote before they could legally do so. That is one area we are investigating. The problem we have encountered is that subpoenas issued to that organization and to the gentlewoman from California and to other organizations have not been honored.
