Mr. President. the purpose of my amendment is to provide a seasonal agricultural worker program for employment in perishable commodities. the objective of which is consistent with those desired by the supporters of this immigration reform legislation. Let me first say a word about my distinguished colleague from Wyoming. It is hardly necessary. even to newcomers to this body. to point out the distinguished history of the sponsor of this landmark legislation. This is an effort to deal with a problem of the right proportions. and he has dealt with it heroically. I may not agree on several points. but his legislative craftsmanship and the leadership he has taken in holding hearings and doing the background research necessary to even address this problem has to earn the commendation of those who may not agree with the product entirely.
