I also hope that we could still work out some agreementwe made a tentative suggestion to our colleagues on the other side with reference to the minimum wage. I will ask Senator Lor to try to meet again early next week with Senator DASCHLE or his designee to see if we can work out some time to take up that matter. either as a part of something else. which I will not speculate what it might be. or have separate votes. parallel votes on our proposal and a Democratic proposal. because we would like to proceed with the legislation and not have nongermane amendments at every turn. It took us 8 days to complete an immigration bill that probably should have taken 3 days. and I hope that we can catch up. We need to catch up so we can hopefully enjoy a recess or a few days off the end of this month. We have a number of bills we think should be completed prior to that time.
