                       THE DEPORTATION OF ALIENS

  Mr. BUMPERS. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the Senate 
proceed to the immediate consideration of Senage Resolution 284, a 
resolution submitted earlier today by Senators DeConcini and Simpson, 
relating to the deportation of aliens; that the resolution be agreed 
to; that the motion to reconsider be laid upon the table and that any 
statements appear at the appropriate place in the Record.
  The PRESIDENT pro tempore. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  So the resolution (S. Res. 284) was agreed to, as follows:

                              S. Res. 284

         Resolved, That (a) it is the sense of the Senate that--
       (1) the Attorney General should consider implementing, 
     through awarding start-up administrative grants to 
     appropriate not-for-profit organizations, a pilot program at 
     processing centers of the Immigration and Naturalization 
     Service for the purpose of increasing efficiency and cost 
     savings in the processing and removal of aliens held in 
     custody by assuring orientation and representation for such 
     aliens;
       (2) these pilot projects should be developed in 
     consultation with the Commissioner of the Immigration and 
     Naturalization Service, the Executive Office of Immigration 
     Review (EOIR), and appropriate not-for-profit organizations 
     having relevant experience;
       (3) one such project currently operating in Arizona at the 
     Florence Service Processing Center is a good model for 
     implementing such a pilot program because of its working 
     relationship with the Immigration and Naturalization Service, 
     the Executive Office of Immigration Review, and a not-for-
     profit organization; and
       (4) an evaluation component should be included in any such 
     pilot program to test the efficiency, the cost effectiveness, 
     the services provided, and the replicability in future years 
     to additional processing centers of the Immigration and 
     Naturalization Service.
       (b) It is further the sense of the Senate that nothing in 
     this resolution should be construed as creating a right to be 
     represented at the expense of the Government.
