I rise to join my colleague. Congressman JOAQUIN CASTRO. to urge the majority to finally allow the House to strike a destructive political provision that has made its way into the Legislative Branch Appropriations bill. If those listening are wondering why we are talking about the pejorative term "illegal aliens" on the bill that funds the legislative branch. then you are not alone. This legislations accompanying report includes language that would have the Library continue to use the term "illegal aliens." "to the extent practicable"-even though the Library itself has said that there is no practicable means to continue to use the term "illegal aliens." The Library changes thousands of subject headings each year without interference from Congress. Why this one? Why now?
