Mr. President. it is my hope that we can move ahead with the immigration bill. As I understand. the distinguished Senator from Illinois has an amendment that deals with immigration. He is on his way to the floor. I hope we can dispose of that. Hopefully. the distinguished Senator from Pennsylvania . will agree to postpone consideration of his amendment until some future time. It would not in any way Jeopardize his right to pursue it on the debt ceiling bill or anywhere else. We could finish action on the immigration bill in the early afternoon and then turn back to the Superfund legislation. Perhaps we can do the D.C. appropriations bill this evening. Keep in mind that we will recess early in the evening. probably around 6 oclock. As I understand. that is the only other immigration amendment outstanding. We will be in contact with Senator HEINZ to see if he will postpone consideration of his Social Security amendment. which does not belong on the immigration bill in the first instance. If he will do that. I think those on the other side might be willing to postpone their amendments until some future time.
