A bipartisan majority of the members supported that legislation. That particular legislation has been altered to a very small extent and incorporated in the broader legislation. It is one of the important reasons to commend this legislation. As I have mentioned in an earlier statement. we have a comprehensive approach toward our immigration challenge that we are facing in this country. but there is a very important AgJOBS issue. We had not addressed it in the McCainKennedy legislation because it appears to have a separate constituency. but we were able to get that incorporated through the leadership of Senator FEINSTEIN. It strengthened our package.
