Mr. Chairman. I rise in opposition to the King amendment which 1 refer to as "lets return to the good old days." The good old days of literacy tests. because that is what they are talking about. Make no mistake about what we are talking about here today. In 1975. a bunch of brilliant people finally came up with an answer. and they said we have found a way to become inclusive. to increase voter participation. to make citizens more responsible. to engage them in our society and assimilate into society with a little bit of assistance at the polling place.
