On the recordMay 15, 2006

to start the debate, if I may, as I have referred to earlier, I send an amendment to the desk and will ask for its consideration when we debate the amendment further tomorrow and proceed to a vote. It is an amendment that has been summarized briefly which would require border security arrangements to be in place before we move ahead to the handling of the 11 million undocumented immigrants and the guest worker program. I yield the floor for my distinguished ranking member. The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. Graham). The Senator from Vermont is recognized.
