But when the chips were down. with one of her last two legislative acts. Senator KASSEBAUM led the way with health care reform.

But he has been just extraordinary. He held the fort on the Gallegly amendment. which would have deprived education to children born of parents who are illegal immigrants. While we ought to protect our borders and not have illegal immigrants in the United States. we certainly ought not to deprive children of their educational opportunities. which will just haunt American society. where they will not be able to support themselves in adulthood and where they will be delinquents and perhaps criminals on the streets. Madam President. may I inquire as to how much of the 20 minutes I have left?
