Harry Reid said "Madam President, this is so important. People who worked with our military in Iraq as interpreters and doing other things that were essential are now targets in the civil war that is going on in Iraq. Some of them have been wanting to leave for 2 years, and this will allow them to do that. I am so glad we are able to extend this. Every day these people who helped us are subject to arrest, being killed, as are their families. It is so important we did this. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Vermont. ___________________
