L] 1915 Yet still Attorney General Reno refuses to appoint an independent counsel to provide an objective and complete investigation. I know that the gentleman from Kentucky the chairman of the subcommittee. has held hearings on this subject. as we have done on the Committee on Government Reform and Oversight. and I thank the chairman for his leadership on this important matter. I ask for my colleagues support for a complete and objective investigation of illegal activity by the inspector general in order to restore the integrity and dignity of the naturalization process. Naturalization is a critical symbol of the American democratic experiment and the continuing contribution that immigrants make. The time has come to eliminate this blemish on the immigration system and those. the majority of whom. the overwhelming majority of whom. who legally pursue their citizenship. We should not cheapen it.
