From november 6, 1986, when he was about to sign the Immigration Reform and control act of 1986. [video clip] this bill, the Immigration Reform and control act of 1986 that i will sign in a few minutes is the most comprehensive reform of our Immigration Laws since 1953. It is the product of one of the longest, most difficult legislative undertakings. It is an excellent example of a truly successful bipartisan effort. The administration of the allies and Immigration Reform on both sides of the u. S. Capitol and both sides of the aisle worked together to accomplish these critically important reforms to control ilLegal Immigration. In 1981, this administration passed a comprehensive legislative package, including sanctions, other measures and legalization. The act provides these three essential components. Distance is not discouraged. The problem of ilLegal Immigration should not therefore be seen as a problem between the United States and its neighbors. Our objective is to establish a re
The executive director of the American Society of comptrollers. Without further ado, please join me in welcoming one of my favorites, robert hale. [applause] good morning. How is everyone doing . Listen, i am glad to be here. For a number of reasons. One of them is that comptrollers do not get invited out that much. I have a number of stories.

Revis prosecutors because of defined, market value problems, all kinds of different kinds of penalties that are applicable to corporations, including debarment and suspension from Government Contracting or delicensing, like arthur anderson, so i can tell you the accepted wisdom in the defense bar is, dont even think about resisting a government overtour for a plea in a corporate context, and now the government is just going with what are called dps, not even resolving cases criminally because thats too difficult, so the department of justice reaches a civil resolution. Thank you.
