Mr. President. the Senate owes a great deal to the chairman of the Immigration Subcommittee and the floor manager of this bill. the Senator from Wyoming . We are facing an extremely important public policy issue. I do not think there has been a Senator. at least in the time I have been in the Senate. who has devoted more time and developed a better understanding and command of this public policy question than the Senator from Wyomingan issue of enormous complication that involves some of our most basic and fundamental valuesreunification of families. problems with refugees. economic conditions in our country. and the major area of agricultural workers. This has been an enormously complicated and controversial issue. As the Senator has pointed out. there have been areas of strong difference between members of the committee and also during the course of this debate on the floor.
