I will support that. That will be evident. But I certainly say to my colleagues that the Helms amendment responds to what I believe should be the priorities in our immigration policy. and yet I am bound by my earlier agreement to my subcommittee members. my colleagues. Senator KENNEDY. and Senator SIMPSON. to vote against the amendment. I do so but I still believe very stronglyas we all have come to supportthat a national level of immigration to me is more important than anything we are attempting to reach. And for that reason I will not be able to support the Helms amendment. But I think it is obviously a very thoughtful proposal. and I think the distinctions drawn by the Senator from Massachusetts with his thoughtful approach gives all of us a better idea of what it is we are trying to do. and that is continue to keep our eye on the rabbit. and. that is our national interest.
