“Very briefly, we have in this most important debate two veterans of the Senate, to say the least, Senators Specter and Leahy, who will be managing this bill. I agree with the distinguished majority leader. This debate should be dignified. People have very strong feelings about issues. I look forward to some very pronounced debate and voting. We have had a lot of talk about the need to do immigration. Now is the opportunity to see what we can do. I met with my staff today, and I asked them to prioritize our amendments. We worked through some of those, which ones we want to offer first, second, third. I am sure that has been done on the majority side also. So I hope with Senator Specter and Senator Leahy leading the charge that we can move forward very quickly.”
