H.R. 962 adds former Representatives Hamilton Fish and Ron Mazzoli, by name, to the Commission on Immigration, chaired by former Congresswoman Barbara Jordan of Texas. Hamilton Fish and Ron Mazzoli were both long-time members of the Committee on the Judiciary and of the Immigration Committee. Adding these two individuals to the commission would be a fitting tribute to their years of service in the Congress and to their work on immigration policy, and both have much to contribute to the commission itself. Barbara Jordan, Chair of the Commission on Immigration Reform and Dr. Susan Forbes Martin, executive director of the commission, have expressed their support for this bill.
