Yet they have not disbanded the committee. and they continue to provide funding for it in this bill. Lastly. as we have been able to spend a few minutes debating here on the floor. this bill tragically sets the legislative branch up as the word police and Members of Congress as the watchful sentries over the uses of the terms and subject headings at the Library of Congress. I am glad that we are really carefully protecting the card catalog in the Library of Congress to make sure that we can continue to use offensive terms when researchers look them up in the Library of Congress. like "illegal alien." This bill makes sure that. instead of evolving. instead of moving forward. instead of letting professionals who work in libraries decide what terms should be used in their subject headings. Congress is going to establish ourselves as the word police. politicize something where we should not inject politics. and label people as "illegal." Again. I will reiterate that there should have been an opportunity for us to debate this issue separately.
