Speech #1050090313

I must report to the Members that in my view this memorandum of understanding is not acceptable and not appropriate. Mr. Speaker. it suggests that we turn a whole set of records that have come from the Immigration Service to try to determine if a whole great number of residents of the 46th District. and people outside the 46th District. were registered citizens and legal citizens of the United States and whether they voted in this race. and turn it over to the Secretary of State of California to make a determination as to whether or not everybody who voted was a citizen. First. let me say that it is totally unacceptable to turn this decision about whether or not this election was valid. and whether LORETTA SANCHEZ was elected. over to the Secretary of State of California. I understand what the Committee on House Oversight may be trying to say.
