Mr. President. regardless of whether one thinks that it was destiny or industry that brought AL SIMPSON to Washington. his 18 years of service have left an indelible legislative mark. Since he became chairman of the Judiciary Committees Immigration Subcommittee. the Senator from Wyoming has worked assiduously in developing tough laws to crack down on illegal immigration and commonsense policies to govern legal immigration. Indeed. it is a fitting testament to his efforts that one of the last measures passed in the 104th Congress was an immigration reform bill that he authored. But immigration is just one of the many contentious issues that ALAN has been willing to take on. As a member of the Senate Finance Committee. he recognized the demographic strains that Social Security and Medicare will face in the coming decades and was one of the first Senators to bring serious attention to this issue.
