President. it is my understanding that there would be a lengthy discussion if in fact either side offered Social Security amendments. I am not certain whether that is the case or not. Obviously. it would be my hope that we could set aside Social Security amendments on the immigration bill. and maybe agree to have some freestanding debate on this issue. But if that is not the case. then I think I am not certain what the distinguished senior Senator from Louisiana has in mind. But he indicated earlier today that he would like to be heard. So if we can complete action on the bill by 6:30. including final passage. then we would go to the Superfund legislation for a couple of hours with no rollcall votes. There would be no additional rollcall votes after we complete the immigration bill. But if we do not complete the immigration bill by 6:30 then we have a 2hour window where we can take up amendments on Superfund. That can be dealt with. without a rollcall. And then we can come back at 8:30. go back on the immigration bill which essentially at that time I guess would be the Social Security amendments unless something else is offered such as South A~rica. trade. debt ceiling. prayer. abertion. or some of the other areas that are germane to immigration. Maybe Just a package deal would be all right. So hopefully we can dispose of the immigration bill by 6:30. if that is of any comfort. It probably is not. Mr.
