Chairman. I yield myself such time as I may consume. I would like to respond to the concerns of my colleagues that have been expressed about the provision of the bill that has the legal immigration provisions sunsetting in the year 2006 and explain to my colleagues the reason for having this provision in the bill. It was put in there at the recommendation of the Subcommittee on Immigration and Claims simply because we wanted to force Congress to address the very complex subject of immigration on a regular basis. There was no nefarious plot here involved in trying to sunset the legal immigration numbers. In fact. I am on record numerous times as being opposed to a moratorium.
