On the recordMay 15, 1997
Mr. Chairman, I stand to lend my support to the bill as reported by the committee, and I want to thank them for their skill and sensitivity in bringing this before the floor. Our amendment provides an offsetting rescission in budget authority that will allow us to do this, so that when Congress takes its recess, these very worthy legal immigrants will continue to receive their benefits. Our amendment, which they have been so helpful in letting us offer this morning, is identical to the one that has already been passed by the Senate on May 7. We all know that the Social Security Administration has sent out over 800,000 letters to people letting them know they may or may not have a cutoff of their benefits.
