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. ********************************************************************* * PBS-L is IFCSS's news distribution list for individuals.
