Jr.. told readers of the May 23 Washington Post that he was still going to pray over his children in French. I have only one word to say to Mr. Dionne: relax. Neither my earlier amendment to the immigration legislation nor the legislation I am introducing today will have any impact whatsoever on the prayers of the Dionne family or. for that matter. a dinner table chat in Spanish or a family discussion in Navajo. Official English laws are not directed at the language people themselves choose to speak but. rather. in what language the Government speaks to the American people. My bill basically recognizes the practical reality of the role of English as our national language.
