        House Bill H.R.2202 Passed in Judiciary Committee

After a long, contentious day of discussion and debate over 25 amend-
ments, the House Judiciary Committee completed  mark-up of  H.R. 2202 
at 6:00 pm on October 24th. By a favorable vote of 23 to 10, the bill 
was approved. Voting in favor were all the  Republican  members   and 
three Democrates (Reed, RI; Boucher, VA; and Bryant, TX); Voting aga-
inst the bill were all other Democrats with two absent.

The question now is:"what happens next?" Smith has been saying publi-
cly that he does not expect his bill to reach  the House  floor  this 
year. It is likely the floor action will not happen in 1995.

Republican Chabot (OH), who voted with the Democrats on several issues 
and who lead the charge against thte employment  verification  system, 
and expressed concerns about the legal immigration provisions  of  the 
bill, believed that the bill would be favorably amended on  the  House 
floor. Obviously, there is an appeal to everyone who cares  about this
issue, to make continuous actions before and when the bill is  on  the
House. 

Let us well prepared.
