Mr. President. this afternoon we begin consideration of S. 2611. a comprehensive immigration measure. Chairman SPECTER is here today to manage amendments to the bill. We have several Senators on this side of the aisle who have indicated they are prepared to pose their amendments during todays session. I encourage Members to come forward and bring their amendments to the managers just as soon as possible so that we will be able to consider them. Exactly how we handle amendments over the course of the afternoon. the Democratic leader and I and the chairman and managers will be discussing in a few minutes. We do expect a full session on the immigration bill today. On Tuesday we have an order to have a rollcall vote at shortly after 10 oclock on the confirmation of a circuit court nomination. I expect after that we would have some other votes that could be stacked and voted upon before our policy luncheons.
