Show n Amn esiy - WASHINGTON (UPI) The House, trying to complete wort on an Immigration reform bill, is taking up the most critical aspect of the politically touchy measure whether to grant amnesty to millions of illegal aliens already in the United States. House Democratic leader Jim Wright said Monday the amnesty issue was key to passage of the overall bill, which he said could come to a final vote late today. "I think that some form of legalization or amnesty is necessary," the Texas Democrat told reporters. "Otherwise, without that, you really don't have much of a bill." Wright said it was his guess the bill probably will pass. .Last week, House Speaker Thomas O'Neill also said he thinks it will pass but said again Monday he has no enthusiasm for the measure and finds little support for it among his Massachusetts this year, was debated all last week and emerged with its key features still intact but with some amendments that could still run into trouble. The bill, sponsored by Sen. Alan Simpson, and Rep. Romano Mazzoli, would grant legal residence to aliens who arrived before 1982 and would penalize employers who knowingly hire illegal aliens in the future. Waiting to be offered are several amendments dealing with including at least one that Mazzoli fears would lead to amnesty defeat of the overall bill. One expected to be offered by Rep. Bill McCollum, would eliminate amnesty something sponsors rule out as leading to the uprooting of families and mass deportations. Some members already have said they will vote against the bill if it includes amnesty, but McCollum said during debate last week that he will probably vote for the bill even if his amendment is Also in the wings was an amendment to make the bill conform with a Senate-passe- d version by granting permanent residence to aliens who arrived before 1977 and temporary residence to those who came later but before 1980. Another would make the cutoff date for legalization 1982 rather than 1980. Still another calls for temporary legalization for the first year, with permanent legal status reserved for those who are learning English and studying U.S. history and government. The House last week stripped the bill of criminal penalties against employers but kept civil sanctions. Employers of four or more would be subject to a $1,000 fine for each undocumented alien hired with the fine rising to $2,000 for repeated violations. Democrats are deeply divided over the bill with Hispanic members joined by many blacks bitterly opposed to employer sanctions, saying they will lead to discrimination against ethnic and racial minorities in search of work.

For that reason, the company decided to drive pilings into the mountain to provide supports for the ot 80-fo- ot line. - 1 58-3- six-ho- 63-3- Serfustini had no estimate of when the work will be completed and power generation at the plant resumed. Local observers in the area say the flow line has slipped for years.

The administration has not fared as well in the Democratic-controlle- d House, which has adopted opposite positions on both Central American issues. The House has voted three times against covert aid for Nicaraguan rebels and overwhelmingly adopted a proposal requiring the president to get Congress' approval before sending combat troops into Central America. . atin Americans Discuss Debt Problem - Colombia (UPI) CARTAGENA, Diplomats from Latin America's 11 most indebted nations have gathered to find ways to ease their staggering foreign debt and convince the United States to lower its.interest rates.
