Harry Reid: “We really should have H-1B passed. It does not mean everybody is in favor of it, but it is something that needs to be…”

On the recordJuly 10, 2000
We really should have H-1B passed. It does not mean everybody is in favor of it, but it is something that needs to be done. It is very important legislation. We need to have the matter debated. I hope the leader will take back the colloquy today. The Senator misspoke. He said 20 amendments. I think he meant 10 amendments with five on each side. Ten on each side would be a deal. We can do that this instant. I think the majority leader made a mistake.
