    Statement on the Commission on Immigration Reform
    June 7, 1995

        Having met this morning with Chair Barbara Jordan, I want to
    congratulate the Commission on Immigration Reform for its recommendation
    on legal immigration. Consistent with my own views, the Commission's
    recommendations are pro-family, pro-work, pro-naturalization. As with
    the Commission's first report on illegal immigration, which we are now
    aggressively implementing, the Commission has again laid out a roadmap
    for the Congress to consider. It appears to reflect a balanced
    immigration policy that makes the most of our diversity while protecting
    the American workforce so that we can better compete in the emerging
    global economy. The administration looks forward to working with
    Congress on this issue.
