Speech #1140098836

House Republicans went out of their way to include provisions that ignore these issues. and instead push a partisan agenda that wastes taxpayer dollars. First of all. House Republicans inserted language meant to appease the most extreme members of their conference by directing the Library of Congress to use the term "illegal alien" in its subject headings for searches rather than the Librarys preferred "noncitizens" or "unauthorized immigration." This unnecessary interference into the routine work of the Library of Congress politicizes a change meant to help provide the most uptodate. thorough information. The inclusion of such language is sadly nothing new for the subcommittee. In the past few years. the majority has spent close to $7 million on a partisan. political Benghazi investigation. $2.3 million defending the Defense of Marriage Act. and is now engaging in shameful. unprecedented attacks on biomedical researchers and womens health.
