I think we have done so in a very civil way. Senator KENNEDY has told you in great detail what the legislation would do. I would emphasize the three most important goals for me are to see that we set a generous. reasonable. fair. and flexible national level of immigration. That level we set is 22 percent above current immigration levels. even though in every poll we see and in the mail that comes to me the American publics apparent desire is to admit the current number or even less when we talk about legal immigration. So we have been quite generous to come up with a 22percent increase above existing levels. This level is to be reviewed and adjusted with relative ease every 3 years by the President and by the Congress.
