President. I thank the leader. He has accommodated me in every instance. as well as the Democratic leader. with regard to immigration reform. Anyone who follows the legislative process knows that after a 4V/-day debate of a bill. especially with some amendments which have been well fought and well thought and controversial. that if we leave a bill like that without any time limits or without any further attempts at adept and adroit dabbling. we will pay a dear price for it. It Is tenuous enough as it is. I have suggested to Senator HEINZ that he place his amendment on a separate piece of legislation with a certainty that it will be offered on that piece of legislation and not on the Immigration Reform and Control Act. As a reasonable person. I hope he will consider that. I see there is one more amendment. as I gather. and then some technical amendments with another colloquy. That would be about the extent of the Immigration Reform and Control Act and. in one way or another. we can get to some type of vote on final passage. There is no question but what the stumbling block is the Heinz amendment. We ought to put it where it ought to be and not somewhere else.
