Thank you, Mr. President. I thank the Parliamentarian for that clarification. (The remarks of Mr. Webb pertaining to the introduction of S. 3372 are located in today's Record under ``Statements on Introduced Bills and Joint Resolutions.'')
when you make that determination, you should be making it in the U.S. Congress not by one individual of whichever party who happens to be the President.
I am committed to trying to make this policy work, at the same time to reduce the frictions that are causing it problems.
