I went to the Committee on Rules tonight to see if I could get an amendment ruled eligible for the floor which would have turned around an injustice which is in this bill. I think what Congress sees in this bill Is what happens when legislators. people in Congress. make rules on appropriations bills. It is always a disaster when that happens. and it is too bad that this particular amendment on immigration. a situation that is so very direly needed in this country. was placed on an appropriations bill. and a very important appropriations bill. for the District of Columbia. The District of Columbia has been bandied about in this Congress. I think it is high time we put the kind of precedence and the kind of attention on this particular bill that it should receive.
