Once again. the motive is very good. and I have agreed to this amendment to try to avoid any misinterpretation or misconstruction of the original provision. Mr. Chairman. the motive again was to force Congress to do something that it has never really done before. and that is take a look at our immigration policy on a regular basis. We have found so often in the past that by not forcing Congress to address this subject. our immigration policies oftentimes have developed in ways unexpected. And we certainly hope that will not be the case here. I might say also I hope we will not come to regret that this amendment passes and 7 or 10 years down the road want to address immigration but not have any mandate to do so. Mr. Chairman.
