I have total admiration for both of them. But I think the points made are very valid points. I think Senator DECONCINI made the point that you cannot guarantee we can adjust because of the mechanism within the bill if you rise over 264.000 immediatefamily visas. So what we want to do is make sure the family reunification can take place. As I understand it. the Senator from Wyoming said he could not understand the reason for the amendment. That was my impression. Well. the reason for the amendment is to protect family reunification under the preference categories. That is plain and simple. S. 358 offsets. I think. is a threat to such family reunification. Yes. if the current situation stayed static. I suspect the Senator from Wyomings position could not be refuted. but it does not stay static. The GAO makes it clear that it will not stay static. and that we are going to by 1999. have zero preference categories visas. So the bills currently operated provisions do not solve that problem in the future. That is what this amendment will do.
