Mr. President. it has been a great and distinct pleasure to work with the Senator from Florida on immigration reform. She has been the most extraordinary helpmate that I have had. She is not Just from a State deeply affected. Her State is the most deeply affected. obviously. by the impact of refugees and those we extend our heart and hand to and we should always be available to do that. Her State is affected by the impact of the CubanHaitain entrants. There is no one who pays more dogged attention to the difficulties of Florida that I know of. She corners me once in a while and says. "What are you doing about this in Florida? We are the most heavily impacted." She considers all the issues of immigration. legal or illegal. and the issues of those seeking asylum such as the boat people. a whole array of different definitions applied to human beings that we deal with in the subcommittee. I thank her for that. I know of the sincerity in all the things she has done on this issue and in the things she has done to assist in immigration reform. I do know what the SAVE project is. systematic alien verification for entitlements. I think it is a remarkable program.
