Chairman Conyers Writes to White House Counsel Fielding on Amnesty
February 12th, 2008 by Jesse Lee

In a letter to White House Counsel Fred Fielding today, Judiciary Committee Chairman John Conyers indicated that the secret documents recently provided by the White House do not justify the Senate amnesty provision. In addition, Chairman Conyers reiterated previous requests for additional information that the White House has not yet provided and requested declassification so that more information on this crucial issue may be provided to the American public.

3. I know but
by passing in the Senate 68 to 29 I have little faith that the House won't sell out also.
