My colleagues attempted to offer the bill as an amendment to the KassebaumKennedy health insurance bill. and it was withdrawn. In counterpoint to the efforts of Senator PRYOR. the Judiciary Committee held a February 27 hearing. as I promised. On May 2. we held a markup. as I promised. We wanted to hold the markup before then. but consideration of the immigration bill took longer than anyone anticipated. The point is that we held the markup. and we did it in as expedited a fashion as possible. I am pleased to say that. with the support of Senators SPECTER and HEFIN. we were able to forge a bipartisan compromise that was adopted on a 10to7 vote.
