Now if there was any evidence of behavior that would affect the outcome. perhaps we could be more patient with this. but as the Washington Post has pointed out and as a matter of longstanding law as well as precedents of this House. the burden of proof is on the plaintiff in this case. and there is no credible evidence that has been brought forward that would lead any objective observer to the conclusion that the outcome of this election will be changed in any way through additional investigations. As the gentlewoman from New York knows. I am a member of the House Committee on the Judiciary. and in that capacity I serve on the House Subcommittee on Immigration and Naturalization. I regret to report that the state of the records of the Immigration Service is so poor that the information being asked for frankly is not going to be able to be delivered in any kind of timely fashion. And by way of example. when the first request was made to the Immigration Service to match up names with INS records was delivered. 500.000 names came back. nearly. well. almost the entire population of a congressional district from all over the United States. Obviously this proves nothing. The numbers are now down to such a short percentage that there is no way the outcome could possibly be affected.
