Mr. President. today I am pleased to Join my colleague Senator KENNEDY and others in cosponsorship of S. 2015. legislation that would amend the Immigration and Nationality Act to extend for 1 year the application period under the legalization program. In my view. extending the application period for the legalization program is a positive step toward this elusive success. An extension would not change the legalization program in any way. and it would give us the time we need to do some studied finetuning. I have often been on record as a supporter of the landmark Immigration Reform and Control Act. one of the most carefully crafted compromises that the Senate has worked out. It was a hardfought battle. and a Job well done. Nevertheless. we should not rest on our laurels.
